That a pretty surprising article.

It's really not all that surprising. PS3 is the most powerful in terms of graphics and specs, followed by Xbox 360, and Wii is obviously the weakest. Of course a more powerful machine uses more energy. Just how a muscle car with a huge engine uses more gas than a neo geo.

it's more surprising to me, if you leave it on how much they cost ya.

of course play time would use up a lot.

I will never understand why someone would leave a gaming console on when they aren't playing it, that's fucking stupid.

yeah I dont know why someone would leave it on either.

Are they talking about unplugging it or putting it in stand by?
