I think many people don't like seeing a medium size company competing againt giant corporations like Sony and Microsoft, they see Nintendo as a relique from another time, and wish the videogame industry were all about huge corporations pushing and competing with the latest most advance technology.
After Nintendo 64 and the Gamecube they thought Nintendo was soon going the way of Sega, and they were extremely bothered by Nintendo outselling Sony and Microsoft last gen, they didn't expect that at all. As if Nintendo, the toy company, were not allowed to be more successful than the HD twins, as if it was something outrageous.
I think the hatred some people feel for Nintendo comes from that, and after the Wii sucess the hatred was made stronger because they realized Nintendo was not that harmless and could be quite threatening if they got lucky.
That is why they get all excited and wet when they think of Nintendo going third party.

That is utter crap by a blind ninty supporter.
People love the small underdogs kicking the shit out of a huge opponent it goes for any industry anywhere. It almost humen nature to side and feel for the small underdog.

People (some people) also like to associate with those they see as strong, powerful and cool. Nintendo has not been cool since Sega's defamatory ads in the 90s, and is seen as smaller and weaker. The third wheel.

They are the third wheel, so seeing them as that is just being honest with the situation nothing more.
As far as not being cool, thats pretty much by their own choice not any cricumstances or hardship.
