When did you notice a division in sides in gaming.

Genesis vs SNES was the most heated of all time I think. Sega used every chance it got to smear Nintendo. Nintendo didn't do too much smearing, but their marketing was just as fierce.

I'm not sure where you're from but Nintendo did the nastiest thing to SEGA in the history of gaming:

They absolutely blasted them in front of the Congressional panel that was investigating violence in video games back in the early 1990s. Read up on it, Nintendo fought dirty and took every opportunity to try to get Congress to bear down on SEGA. I really hated Big N for quite some time after that.

 

Ah... now I remember. I was kind of mad about that one too. Nintendo was big on no violence in games. But they really did believe in it and I think their heart was in the right place. This was during a time when there was no ESRB. At least they have learned from their mistakes. It's not like they are Jack Thompson who doesn't seem to get it.

Maybe that's why Sega did the smear campaign.
