This is definitely not exclusive to Nintendo. In an area of interest such as gaming that spawns fandom every single one of these companies is fair game and you can see the hatred daily on the web. Not sure why anyone would think only one of the big three is the lone target.

I never said that only nintendo suffer from that. But out of gaming forums the only news that go to the mainstream ears about nintendo are the bad ones or neutral and good news converted into bullshit by selective memory. 

Sony even with all the bad press during the last gen, the ps3 never lost any interest from mainstream gamers and i don't even need to say about sony loyal fans. now with ps4 (and x1 fiasco) sony won. simple as that

Microsoft can get all the hate every gen, but people will always buy xbox, because Cod fifa are there and microsoft can afford make great deals with their systems

So you are talking primarily of how bad press/internet hate is effecting sales while the same cannnot be said for Sony and Mircosoft? Gotcha. I do not know. That may be the case. I can only speak for myself in that regard. I have owned Nintendo consoles in the past. I loved my gamecube. However, 90% of the games I play are muliplatform games so the WiiU has never been an option for me personally. Nintendo obviously makes incredible first party games but they generally are not games that interest me. The big releases of last year in Mario Kart and Smash are great examples. I am sure they are wonderful games but I do not play fighting or racing games on any platform so they hold no sway for me. 

Now, if Nintendo ever brings back Eternal Darkness I am all over it. :D
