Does anyone here hate Nintendo and wish they went bankrupt?

Nope, I like Nintendo.

I dislike that since the Wii we get to play Nintendo's games on outdated hardware. Imagine Nintendo's best on PS4 level hardware. But, that's more hate for the harsh business realities that stop Nintendo from competing in the high end.

You realize that Nintendo's hardware has almost always had this issue, only their SNES and NES have been powerful in their given generations.  The N64 had the cartridge which had storage issues compared to the CD.  The Gamecube was like 33% less powerful than the Xbox and they came out the same month I believe.  The Wii was even further behind the curve, and the Wii U has continued the trend.

Doesn't have to be most powerful; it just has to be comparable.

The N64 & GC didn't feel like playing a good half generation behind.  N64 storage was an issue for the console, but graphically was more advanced than the PS1, with perspective correct filtered textures, double the RAM and expandable to quadruple.  The GC was a bit slower than Xbox but so was the PS2 and GC had more advanced shading than PS2.  It was not a mile behind anything.

Wii graphics have just looked ugly as heck at a time when HD took off, and with the whimsical "Mii" style Nintendo managed to make it even more ugly as if to prove a point that only gameplay matters.

Then Wii U, the good thing is that the graphics are not ugly at all, but it is still almost a generation behind the PS4 & XB1, and after a time when the generation was really really long.  We've been playing games of quality close to Wii U for almost 9 years.

It is totally regrettable that Nintendo is not able to just put out a similar spec console to Sony or MS, with no gimmicks and compete.
