In answer to your question;
Step 1 - Decide to buy a console.
Step 2 - Google consoles
Step 3 - read thousands upon thousands of reviews, with more or less a 50/50 split on which you should get
"Hmm, Google isn't helping me much. Maybe I should get the opinion of real people, preferably within a gaming community, to see what personal anecdotal evidence people have for one console versus the other. I hear Reddit is a good place for such discussions!"
Step 4 - open Reddit, with little idea of what community to reach out to you just search for "consoles".
"Oh look! An entire subreddit dedicated to Consoles! They'll help me!"
Step 5 - Write post hoping for genuine feedback and help.
Step 6 - ignore the "BuT I KnOw AbOuT CoNsOlEs AlReAdY WhY DoNt YoU?!?!" comments.
Step 7 - Review answers to post, make decision on which console to buy.
Not a difficult process to understand, atleast for most of us.

It's not a difficult process to understand, but it's clearly a process that doesn't work. There is no substitute for going out and actually trying these consoles out. You can't just sit at home googling everything in the hope you'll find your answer, because like you said yourself, there's just so many posts, and the end result will still be a 50/50 lol. People need to stop relying on Google, and actually go outside and try things for themselves.
