The scary part is that these are most likely real people, who like their control and surveillance just fine, and are the majority. Which means we will probably see a completely locked down internet sooner or later.
It's basically a microcosm of partisan politics. Don't worry too much about it.
EDIT: Alternatively they could be very lazy astroturfers.
EDIT2: The comparison of console wars to partisan politics has raised another question that I've never considered before: what will happen in a few decades time when the children of people who have themselves been gaming since childhood reach their teen years? Will we see similar patterns to politics, where children tend to inherit their views from their parents without question? Will parents war with their children over their opposing views on gaming?
"This family has played nintendo for four generations! I'll be damned if any son of mine is going to play an xbox 1080 under my roof!"
Normal, non-religiously-devoted gamers don't post there either, they inhabit more independent fora. The only people posting there are sony fanboys.
However, while politics remains a defining factor in peoples views of themselves well into adulthood and parenthood, console/OS choice does not.
Those people for whom it does are probably less likely to breed so the effect will likely not be measurable.
