Little difference between Madara and Obito: the latter had a few things keeping him alive. For example, Black Zetsu, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and Naruto's Six Paths Yang Power. Madara on the other hand got all the tailed beasts extracted, the Demonic Statue sealed away, and had no Black Zetsu or Yang Power to keep him alive. He did in fact die right after the talk with Hashirama.
