Sony has been vilified in the past. Why? Mostly because they deserved it but, like anything that enters the court of public opinion, it expanded past the bounds of normal perception. When the PS3 was announced, the leadership of the Playstation brand was raked over hot coals.
Microsoft has been vilified recently. Why? Mostly because they deserved it but, like anything that enters the court of public opinion, it expanded past the bounds of normal perception. When the Xbox One was announced, the leadership of the Xbox brand was raked over hot coals.
Nintendo? Yeah, the Internet goes a big crazy with it sometimes, just as they had with the examples listed above. Here is the thing, though--no one has put themselves in that position as often and as certainly as Nintendo. The list of mistakes is a mile long. THAT is why Nintendo is always in the "news". It might seem like a war-zone, yeah, but Nintendo themselves has supplied most of the ammunition, like it or not.
