pretty simple. Most of the human population has some type bully side to them. The bigger name you have the bigger target you have printed on you. Look at celebrities in the media. Lindsay lohan (or brit spears, or Amanda bynes) goes on a bender and falls from fame and no one (for a while) could stop talking about it. Anytime any celebrity has a fall from grace people eat it up. Game companies are the celebrities of the gaming world and no one, arguably, has a bigger name in the business than Nintendo. I'm sure they're 100s of indies that go under every year, but obviously very few people care because there's no big name to connect to. The gaming community would/will do the same thing if/when ms or sony falls on hard times. Remember the red ring of death fiasco? Nintendo is not singled out in the internet f(L)ame game, it's just the only a-lister hitting hard times right now. So, in summation, there isn't some kind of conspiracy against Nintendo. It's just people being people. We live in a fairly negative world with a society that has a big appetite for drama, but it is what it is and it's not changing anytime soon.
