PS4 vs. Xbox One vs. Wii U Comparison Chart

The PS4 vs. Xbox One vs. Wii U Comparison Chart provides an easy visual aid to compare hardware, user interface, media compatibility and other features on the three "next-gen" systems.

By popular demand, a Wii U column has been added to the chart for reference. Note that several comparison specs like GPU are not possible at this point due to a lack of confirmed, concrete information.
