That's fair, the whole "Sonic vs. Mario," conversation was already well past its stage of relevancy by the time 2007 rolled around, Sonic games had already been multiplatform for a long time at that point.
Hell, I'm going to be 30 in two months and I'm barely old enough to remember the Sega/Nintendo rivalry.
It was mostly for the Gen Xers who grew up in the 80's that the novelty worked for. Console wars in general just weren't really much of a thing past gen 6, so I can't really see the appeal in a modern context.
