I don't see the problem, to be honest. People want things that make life easier for them. They might not really want to buy a Wii U but they'd probably like to play some of those Nintendo games. It seems somewhat superfluous, I guess, to buy a weaker console (spec-wise) when you already have a more powerful one. Why is that necessarily a bad thing to want? Did they really say, "I want Nintendo to die," or anything? Did they really say they want Nintendo to fail? Or just that they'd like Nintendo games without the hassle of buying a second console? I'd love to play Zelda, for example, but I can't easily justify buying another console when I don't really care for many of Nintendo's franchises.
I think getting upset about this might be an over-reaction.
