Nintendo does have problems. They very blatantly favor their Japanese audience over any other, they seem deathly afraid of the M rating, and if they didn't make something popular, they'll usually be the last one to implement that something.
But those points never get brought up. Maybe the last one every now and then. But almost every other time it's how Nintendo "BETRAYED HARDCORES!" and "STARTED THE CASUAL CRAZE!" and "*Parrot Squawk* GIMMICK GIMMICK GIMMICK *Squawk!*", all of which are total bullshit.
A big problem with gamer in general is that the mentality seems to be "if it doesn't cater to me, it objectively sucks!".
Plus some of the counter-arguments I hear when I try to defend the Wii are utterly retarded.
Hardcore: Nintendo only makes Mario, Zelda and Pokemon!
Me: Well, on the Wii we also had Punch Out, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, two Kirby games, Metroid Prime 3, Smash Bros Brawl and Wario Land Shake It, Animal Crossing and such. Plenty of other lesser-used titles got a chance in the spotlight.
Hardcore: Well they aren't as popular or successful so they don't count.
Hardcore: Nintendo doesn't make any new IPs anymore!
Me: Well, since the Gamecube there was Pikmin, Brain Age, Nintendogs, Warioware, and Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem for folks in North America.
Hardcore: Well they didn't make anything for the Wii.
Me: Well they did the Mii games
Hardcore: That kiddy-casual shit doesn't count!
Hardcore: There were no good third-party titles at all for the Wii!
Me: Well there was Sin and Punishment 2, A Boy and his Blob, Zack and Wiki, Lost in Shadow, No More Heroes, Madworld, Muramasa, de Blob, Xenoblade, Klonoa, Tatsunoko vs Capcom...
Hardcore: They don't count! I mean games like Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty or Arkham Asylum!
Hardcore: Nintendo games are so easy now! I can beat the game so fast!
Me: Well there are some very difficult levels for those who are willing to find and unlock them.
Hardcore: Well those are just for 100%ers, so they don't count!
