Another thing I can throw out there was that when Playstation hit the market there was a huge rise in cazers(casual gamers) so SNES vs GEN was like the Last Stand of the "hardcore crowds" if you will. I mean to 80% of the world (madde up stat :^)) "games were for kids and nerds" and the maddenites were in their infancy, so the fanbases were a lot more rabbid from what I see.
In Leiu of what others have mentioned, I see that this gen was much more heated when the console prices were double, and multi-console ownership was not as feesable for most people. Now well the effects of buyers remorse are much more easilly washed away.
