Current generation consoles are PS4 and PS4, the WiiU was previous gen along with PS3 and XB360. They're nearly the same except for the PS4 having the slightly beefier version of the same GPU, the "required" $100(now $150) Kinect and an OS/UI that is using resources to such an extent that the console has issues running many games at 30fps/1080p. In the end they are. They're just basic entry gaming pcs with proprietary os's and overpriced software in the end.
