The #1 way to become hated is to become successful in a way that people think is undeserved ...
The PS3 and XBox 360 were systems which were designed to appeal to a small segment of the gaming public (the 'Core' gamers) which are heavily represented in the gaming media and in online forums; they were successful with capturing the minds, hearts and wallets of a large portion of this demographic. The Wii was designed with little or no focus on these gamers and therefore the Wii's unexpected success is seen as undeserved by these gamers. The result of this is these disgruntled gamers will write in their little blogs forcasting the doom of the Wii, or talking about some perceived shortcomming of the Wii until the next generation begins.
