You're missing my point. I'm not saying that everyone has to like the Nintendo offering over its competition in any given genre, I'm saying that the stance of a true objective gamer not to like Nintendo games across the board is a fallacy. Unless of course he/she is not a fan of the genres themselves.
And it makes sense for Nintendo games to sell better than 3rd parties as the former largely review far better than the latter. (I'm obviously referring to games available on Nintendo systems here)
Also it's a false equivalence to say that a Nintendo fan's positive prejudice amounts to the same as an anti-nintendo fan's negative prejudice.
A Nintendo fan becomes devoted to the company and its games because they've enjoyed a seminal selection of games over years or even decades. It has been earned.
The anti-nintendo fan generally doesn't play any or many of the companies games, but rather draws on a pre-existing bias.
Again, I'm not saying everyone has to like every Nintendo game, but I just don't find it credible that an honest fan of many genres of game can't find a good deal to enjoy within Nintendo's catalogue.
And this goes for any developer. Just because I don't own an Xbox or PlayStation doesn't mean that I doubt there'd be titles on them that I'd enjoy!

Sorry man, it goes two ways...
Nintendo fans (you can look in this site) are very positive on their anti-3rd parties hate, and calling it deserved... but when it is on people that aren't interested in Nintendo games it must be a hater that hates only for the sake of it because no one couldn't be interested in at least one game from Nintendo.
It is the same coin, on one side you aren't accepting that ALL 3rd parties TOGETHER can't be better and sell better than any game Nintendo have in the genre. Just look at your argument it is basically the same put inverting Nintendo with 3rd parties.

I don't see 3rd party hate from Nintendo fans for genuinely good games...
Look at sales of Steamworld Dig 2 or the recent Super Meat Boy sales almost matching it's 360 launch...
The 3 big platform will undoubtedly attract different demographics - I don't see sports games ever selling as well on Switch for instance.
But having leanings towards certain genres is completely different from having a 3rd party bias.
All told, so far on the Switch, 3rd party games have been selling well, especially considering the bigger games are generally ports.
So, no, it's not the same coin.
In fact, point me to a single Nintendo fan that doesn't want strong 3rd party support?
