Wait... So, poeple hated the Wii, because casuals bought that didn't bought Nintendo-games, but some people that like Nintendo games not hated the Wii, bought the system and games and their number was bigger than on other NIntendo systems which didn't got as much hate???

Hmm, interesting thought. And probably even correct, although maybe only part of the puzzle.

So NES, SNES, Wii and Switch aren't / weren't successful? 

A lot of its games weren't really that awesome, like Mario Kart Wii, Brawl, both Zeldas but there were exceptions like the Galaxy games, Xenoblade and  Kirby's Epic yarn.

Most of those weren't a massive success except the wii and it's too early to say for the NS. 

best selling console of the generation. great games! people moan for the moan!

Amen! i have never thought of that but you might be spot on!

it was gamers not having controls anymore but the mass. We all love something when is niche but Wii made everyone feels like gamers... and gamers hated it!

Did you just say the NES and SNES weren't massive successes lol? Did you completely miss the hype the NES Mini and SNES Mini brought with them? Sony is always welcome to re-release their old consoles, but I doubt they'd reach the sales numbers of the SNES Mini. 

To say the NES and SNES weren't massive successes is an incredibly anachronistic thing to say. Before the Playstation not a single console came even close to 100 million units sold. NES controlled over 90% of the market and the SNES controlled almost 60% of the market. 

The huge advantage Playstation has is that Sony is a global company with over 50.000 employees with factories, distributors and partners across the globe making it far easier to distribute and market their consoles across the world. Nintendo meanwhile barely has 5000 employees and is smaller than Ubisoft, EA, Activision, etc.

Nintendo doesn't have much of a presence in developing countries, Sony does.  

The Wii is my favourite system of the seventh gen.

Maybe among certain younger fans. I do not think it is generally true.

I loved the Wii, it was the closest system to the original NES in terms of philosophy, and to me one of the most Nintendo-like consoles ever released.

But I am in my 30s, so I am older than most Nintendo fans. I think younger fans didn't like Wii because it wasn't like a Playstation Junior, and for them, being like a "Me Too Playstation" is what Nintendo consoles should be. Also, the Gamecube failed while the Wii was wildly successful, and after being defensive for 5 years from being told the Gamecube sucked for 5 years, when the Wii saw massive success, the Gamecube kids turned all red-faced and became snarlingly rebellious against it. But I would say the Wii was very well received by the majority of Nintendo fans.

Not saying all Gamecube fans hated Wii; just the Gamecube defence core - the militant keyboard warriors who won't accept that it was a flop.

The Wii had a much stronger library than Gamecube, you don't have people pretending that games like Eternal Darkness were somehow great when similar (and better) games were much more numerous in Wii's library.

PS, I love the Switch too. To me the good Nintendo consoles are: NES, Gameboy, SNES, GBA, DS, Wii, and Switch. The kind of bad ones due to big missteps but rescued by having some major classic software being 3DS and N64. The philosophically bad ones are Gamecube and Wii U. And the absolutely terrible one being the Virtual Boy.
