Why is Nintendo often hated on? Because out of the 3 console makers, they are the company that most alienates their fanbase. The dramatic shift from the decent specs to gimmick focus definitely upset the hardcore gaming community. Their lack of effort to secure proper 3rd party games annoys almost every gamer. Their ridiculous youtube restrictions annoys most streamers and youtubers. Their constant cease and desist letters to fan made projects always annoys fans of those series.
Other companies make mistakes and they recieve a lot of shit for it. When Microsoft announced DRM policies and the kinect for the xbox one, it was popular to hate on them too. What happened? They listened to what people had to say and they made changes. People were hating on Valve when they wanted to give steam developers the ability to monetize mods. They quickly changed that.
People constantly hate on Nintendo for many things, but you can't blame them when Nintendo is literally alienating their fanbase with almost every decision they make (gimmicks, metroid federation force, amiibo crossing, no third party, youtube monetization, etc.)
