A new report from the Natural
Resources Defense Council put the PS4 and Xbox One under the power
efficiency microscope and came back with less than glowing things to say
about the new devices. According to the organization, both consoles
draw more power than they should despite heavy investment in
power-saving technologies.
The long-term impact? ”Over five years, the Xbox One’s 250 kilowatt hours per year usage represents roughly $150 in electricity costs, enough to buy two or three new games!”
True. But the tone of the original blog piece is a bit overdramatic — particularly given that these are figures we could generate for virtually any non-critical appliance that runs on a daily basis.
