That concept is flawed. You won't find non-fanboys for such a divisive topic on this forum. Neutrals will always choose both or neither.

Pick at least a topic where there are actual arguments that aren't based on personal preference.

BULLSHIT.

Some people thought 360 was better and now think PS4 is better. That disproves your statement. I really dislike how we can't say something is  better without being biased anymore.

Sometimes one thing is better than another.

I should've said a neutral with rational thinking abilities. The moment you decide something based on personal preferences you stop being neutral.

The only rational reason I can currently think of of choosing one console over the other  is not having the money to buy the other. But that's not enough of an argument for a complex product like a console. Console choice comes down to 99% personal preference and experience. You can't defend personal preferences in a debate.

But for the sake of argument I would totally like to hear your neutral arguments about which console is better and why.
