I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this uniqueness. There are generally only two to three consoles per gen to begin with, so until the most recent two gens there was no norm to make a console unique unless you compare previous gens and that is usually a bad thing to compare. Because then the PS1 was unique. The original XBOX was unique. The PS3 was unique. Ect, ect.
However, ever since N64 Nintendo has failed to be able to provide the staple of third party support that made me consider them my primary source of games. NES/SNES always had stuff like Final Fantasy, nearly all the good JRPGs of the gen, as well as the best of other must have third party games. Since N64 it's generally been that they don't have it or they get the inferior version of the game, and I'm sorry but I think there are very few people, compared to who are not, who are so devoted to Nintendo that they are willing to accept buying the inferior game on their console.
I don't think it's about hate for most people. I think it is simply that they don't have the games or they have the inferior version of the game and that means people _have_ to buy a different console and in many cases (this site almost entirely excluded) that means the _only_ console they purchase.
