Meh, the only thing I hate about Nintendo is their game and accessory pricing. The fact that I have to wait until the console is obsolete to see a price drop on many of their games is just absurd. I see why they do it, but it still annoys me. At least when Sony was on top, their bestselling games eventually saw a budget (greatest hits) release.

Their accessory pricing is even crazier. In Canada a Wiimote is $45 and a Nunchuk is $25. That's $70 just for one complete regular controller. Add on WM+ and that's $90. Not to mention the Wii itself is $30 more than in the US while Sony and MS practice price parity for their consoles.

Actually, I also hate region locking. This has to be one of the most anti-consumer measures ever conceived in gaming. It seems Sony learned their lesson here, but Nintendo (and MS) remain huge fans of making sure their fans have to mod their consoles to play games from other regions.
