If you're wondering why people act like idiots and argue about pointless things...it's the internet. The huge similarities you mentioned between the two consoles mean that fanboys have to try incredibly hard to validate their purchase, which is why we see so much of this pointless bickering.
Anyways, all fanboys are pretty vile and annoying. I could write a big essay about how annoying Nintendo fans are and can be, but it might be followed with a shitstorm. And I happen to be against air pollution.
