I see at most a 1% difference with wifi on. It's better but doesn't "kill" from what I've seen. And not a lot of reason why it would.
Phones are a bit different (or at least used to be), as cranking up the transmitter power to try to reach towers, and other things that avoid sleep and cause extra usage really will make a big difference. Particularly higher power usage than normal when idle (i.e. screen off, etc). But for desktops/tablets/consoles, I don't think we see the same thing. ESPECIALLY if they're in active use.
