Man even for one week, people really cant stand Nintendo being on top. Is the hate really at that level?

I don't think this has anything to do with nintendo being on top. I think everyone knew that was going to happen. 

This is about the "hybrid" nature f the NS. Handheld vs home console. Its an argument that has been gin on fr as lon as the NS existed and is represented differently by different publications. So its logical that there will be some division even here as t what exactly it is.

This all started with someone pointing out that nintendo has done really well and made a come back and how people said nintendo was dead as far as home consoles go. And then he was told (while not taking anything away from nintendo) that nintendo "is" dead as far as dedicated home consoles go which is why what they have made is a hybrid. 

And now.... apparently not classifying nintendo as a home console somehow means whoever is doing or saying that has some sort of evil agenda or even "hates" nintendo as you put it.

Right. Nintendo isn't dead in the handheld nor console department. That much is a fact ,as you know we have the Switch. So that argument really doesnt make any sense.  Nintendo has done well to come back after what we got with the Wii U and after the sluggish start with the 3DS, so they were correct.  Person that said it was dead as far as home consoles go is just completely wrong as Nintendo has Switch. Switch is a hybrid, the best of what both a home console and handheld can provide a user. It is both a home console and it is also a handheld, that's factual. People tend to pick one or the other to steer an argument in their specific direction for the sake of trying to be right. When the answer is straight forward. There's no hidden mystery.

Honestly I feel the hatred for the Hybrid idea stems from people actually being mad that Nintendo was the one to perfect it first,as far as the big 3 go, and not Microsoft/Sony. That's the vibe I get.  Am I wrong about that? maybe, but it's the opinion i gotta stick with for the time being after seeing responses lately.
