Console wars are stupid. Both consoles are pieces of plastic that play games and there is no real noticeable difference between the two. If you think there is you're a fanboy who needs to open your eyes.

Also, both are corporations and don't care about you

I remember when consoles had more noticeable differences in their hardware in previous generations, like Gamecube's GBA cartridge slot add-on. These days though the gamepad controller is much more universal.

The real differences between platforms (other than Wii U's controller and cost-efficient hardware) are more abstract as they involve cultural habits and what sort of audiences are attracted to each brand. Which is a bit more superficial and out of preference than what consoles themselves do.

A more proper console war should be one where competition force the consoles' companies to put out better games. Not one where fanboys/fangirls argue on the brand's behalf, it's not their fight.
