The thing is that for the first time in several generations, the three extant consoles are not three similar products: they embody very different idea about what gaming should be. A lot of people look at that situation, and they can't help but wonder if this means that for this generation, their console choices say more about them as a person than just brand choices. And to be honest, I'm not really sure they're wrong about that.
People get sensitive about that sort of thing, and so when people try and advocate something else, they get mad. Flamewars ensue, and that's where fanboyism sets in: suddenly, you're not just defending your console, but also yourself.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
