I don't want to see them die, but they are really trying real hard. Being the savior of the market 30 years ago doesn't mean nothing today. Atari was the creator of the North American console market 40 years ago, then caused its downfall and went bankrupt. Past glories won't save the day.
All this hate, in my opinion, is caused by the Wii. It wasn't a hardcore console and it tried (and almost succeeded) in making gaming a festival of shovelware with motion controllers. If PS360 had a really bad gen and Wii had legs, maybe now we would have 3 Wiis and only shovelware to play. If they tried to save gaming 30 years ago, now they tried to destroy it. The previous image of kid-friendly consoles was summed up with the image of casual, grandma, Wii Sports-only machine and core gamers hated it. Of course, a lot of core gamers bought one, but most of them also got a PS360 down the road because they were let down by the console.
