I assume when you say curent gen, you mean 8th gen handheld, and 7th gen consles, which is odd.

For me it would be 3DS, Wii, X360, PC.

I know X360 and PC are similar consoles, but I like 360's console exclusives over PS3's. Wii is backward compatible with Gamecube, and both of those system have an excellent sellection of games. 3DS is backward compatible with DS, and in general I love Nintendo handhelds. As for PC, it's kind of a shoe in because it's been around for 20 years, so the library is the biggest.

At most it's 6th gen handheld:
 - Pre-GB era (all I can think of are Game & Watch, but as they only played 1 game each i'm not sure if they should be counted as handheld consoles)
 - GB
 - GBC
 - GBA
 - DS
 - 3DS

Although handhelds haven't really followed the same pattern as home consoles (1989-1998-2001-2004-2011)

Having said that, Wikipedia seems to refer to 3DS and Vita as 8th gen... just seems rather odd to me though (I mean if handheld generation depend on the release of home consoles doesn't that mean GBC and GBA are both in the 6th gen because Dreamcast also released in 1998 like GBC, while GC and XB released 2001 like GBA)

Also even if 3DS/Vita and PS3/360/Wii are different numbered generation, they are still all current gen systems until Wii U launches.

Actually, there was the Microvision... that had like a 10 year jump on the Gameboy.

 

Your point still stands though.
