Maybe it's Nintendo's new way of using relatively weak hardware or backwards online compared to the competition? Just because a game comes to a Nintendo platform doesn't always mean it's the same experience as on the competition's. It could also be that if the game does in fact come to a Nintendo platform it won't be the lead console like the Xbox 360 is for many such games or they'll be afterthoughts at best. Or that the Xbox brought a very PC flavor to gaming that he prefers that the other consoles don't have.
Ask yourself this, why is it that many PC fanboys also view the Wii favorably? Do you think it's only because the games don't overlap as much or is it also the fact that many don't see the Wii as any threat to PC gaming? Take the sig for some of them in which there's a "Glorious PC gaming master race" and "Dirty console gaming peasants", that's the way some see consoles and especially the Wii since it fits their mindset of what a gaming console should be. And with the success of the Wii do you really think Nintendo is going to do anything different when it comes to power in their next console?
