Part of it deals with the fact that most of those that were actually in the previous Nintendo vs Sega conflict are older, more mature and likely have dropped all the fanboy nonsense in the past. Young folk that grew up with the PS2 vs Xbox vs GC are still babies in a sense and have yet to leave the competition BS behind.
This upcoming console war has the stigmas of Nintendo dropping a less then respectable entry and the biggest difference between Sony and Microsoft (outside of known exclusives) being the Xbox One may or may not having a lot of restrictions on how you own the game.
As an older gamer, the simplicity that was once a hall mark of console gaming is disappearing in subscription fees, DLC and other nonsense. Plus with life getting more complicated on its own, all this crap does me no good, I just have to hope and make sure my dollars are going toward the right games.
