Yeah me and my cousins had some solid arguments back in the day over Genesis/SNES so let's not pretend that the PS was what brought about fanboys.
I think part of it is that gaming isn't cheap so many people only have 1 system. Add on top of that the fact that many gamers start gaming under the age of 18 and you get petty immature bickering. The only problem is there are some idiots who get to 30 and keep arguing.
