I thought I explained it pretty well. Hardcore console gamers thought the Wii was the worst threat to mainstream gaming since the Atari 2600's ET. For all the reasons I stated before, incredibly profitable mini-game compilations, exercise games, a looming Sony bankruptcy, a looming Microsoft exiting the console industry. Wii U was the immediate successor to the Wii and even kept part of the originals name. It was the perfect target for the hatred and rage gamers felt at the time. All of that was explained in my initial post in longer form.... |
As in explain what any of that has to do with the Switch and you being shocked a good looking product isn't getting hate. Plus honestly, some of your reasons for Wii being hated (since when btw, I've seen far more hate for Wii U) don't make sense to me. Nintendo has nothing to do with Sony's dumb mistakes or Microsoft leaving videogames which didn't even happen. Hating Nintendo for temporarily making certain types of games is also pretty weak when they (and everyone else) were still making traditional games. I think it's just the irrational people that hate Nintendo no matter what who hated the Wii for those reasons, and they'll hate on the Switch aswell. Reasonable people would atleast give the Switch a chance so it makes sense to me that they aren't hating on it, atleast not yet!
