After comparing all of these specs of the current gen consoles I have come to a conclusion that the PS4 is the better console out of the Xbox one and the Wii U, with its specs it over powers is competitors, and it has been announced as the worlds most powerful games console. But the Xbox one is better over the Wii U as the Wii U just cant compare and keep up with the PS4 and Xbox One’s power and capability.

In the end it ends up that the NVidia shield is the better handheld console, its graphics are the best for handheld due to the graphics card which is made by NVidia themselves. But the PS vita isn’t far behind as it beats the 3Ds it is also capable of remote play on most if not all of the PlayStations games through streaming  the game straight from the PS4 with same graphics, but the 3DS has something that either the other two have which is the 3D without and 3D glasses.
