I don't think most Wii-haters actually hate either the console or Nintendo, except indirectly. What they hate, I believe, are the new gamers -gamers who aren't like them- that the Wii is bringing in. They have had gaming pretty much all to themselves for the past two generations, having driven everyone else away. They're now unused to dealing with others, and they worry about what will happen now that gaming is once again opening up to everyone, as once it was.
The Wii and Nintendo are only hated as far as they enable this to happen. The actual hate goes to the Others. And this is why the self-described "hardcore" need to be brought down.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
