Why do you think Nintendo has survived so long as a platform holder?

One thing I’ll say for certain: Nintendo brings out the hate in people like no other console manufacturer. It’s fricking insane that they managed to weather several storms of being the most ridiculed, despised company in the schoolyard many times over.

Stay true to yourself, kids. They may not understand you now, but give it time and the pendulum will swing back. Just keep working hard so you’re ready when it does.

Yeah it's genuinely weird and kinda unhinged how much hate they get.

Seems to be a combination of the usual hate that immature folks have for anything they perceive as "kiddy", fanboys of opposing brands wanting them to fail, and nowadays the grifter/ragebait economy targeting them cos it gets clicks and therefore ad revenue. 

There's definitely things worth criticising about Nintendo, but the number of people who make hating on their whole personality is just weird.
