Why do you think some people hate Nintendo?

So, why do you think? There are a lot of xbox people who just play that and then suddenly hate Nintendo.

My brother plays COD all the time and now says he hates Nintendo, even though he doesn't give a reason. But then he is in the other room playing Mario Kart 7, claiming "it's different". I can't even go down there to play Skyward Sword, Paper Mario, or whatever without him making a comment, still without reasons.

So, what do you think? I never got why people hate Nintendo, I respect all companies.
 
Because Nintendo is too child-friendly?
 
Nintendo got a 'friendly' reputation since the Gamecube, that's why.
 
personally its because I dont like all these nintendo gimmicks. i havent gotten to experience much of the 3DS but the effects of it just dont appeal to me and the game line up for it is terrible, or at least was for quite a while after its launch. the wii u is like the weirdest idea ever, but I cant judge it yet. the wii had motion controls which would work in some games, but you cant give every single game a wii remote, it just doesnt work, and it would lead to horrible ports of other games

another thing is that nintendo lives in the past. theyre just now adding 1080p support on their console, and their online play system is still horrid (friend codes as opposed to easier to remember 'gamertags')

and thats why the gamecube and nintendo 64 were great. good games on a simple, fun controller, before online play was "in" and nintendo was at the top of their game. now not so much

that said... in your brother's mind...it's probably the childish part
 
Yeah Jorge sums it up. Also, the Nintendo systems don't really have a lot of power and aren't in HD so.
 
Actually, the Gamecube was more powerful than the PS2.
 
Because it's opposite of CoD. NSM does your brother now hate the name BaseballYoshi24.

No they got it because of the strict censorship the put on third party games during the pre rating system.
And there are quite a few valid reasons to dislike Nintendo
1. There systems ever since the Gamecube have been underpowered which is fucking annoying when they release there system after everybody else does.
2. Like Jorge says they rely on Gimmicks such as motion control which is cool but keep it the fuck out of normal games like Zelda or at least make it optional
3. There games are easy (except for the final fucking worlds which become very hard) because they throw all of the real difficulty into bonus worlds
4. Fucking Bonus worlds that don't do anything when you beat them
5. Pulling bull shit moves like the Wii U which is barley more powerful then the Xbox360 and then market the system as if it's for hardcore games.
Reusing the same game play over and over again with Mario games (yes things like Call of Duty do this as well but that's different you get those because of the online play)
6. Dreadful misuse of their popular franchises I mean seriously one fucking Animal Crossing game for the Wii (that wasn't even that good), no Pikmin games, 2 Metroid games (one of which was apparently terrible), 2 Legend of Zelda games with only one being exclusive and the other one recurring motion control, A shit ton of Mario spin offs ranging from great to terrible.
7. Being horribly prepared for the Launch of the 3ds I mean come on fucking Pilotwings and Steel Diver nobody cares about those games.
8. Very shallow online play which is both good and bad because it makes it less personal and it stops people from making fun of you for losing.
9. Bad treatment of 3rd parties from making them only be allowed to release games on their systems, making the N64 intentionally hard to work with as a way to drive away bad 3rd parties, to making underpowered systems which makes it harder for third parties to sell their games on Nintendo systems.
