A new showdown between the big three home consoles and a mid-range PC doesn't compare games or GPUs, but rather power consumption, and the Wii wins by a landslide. The watts don't just bleed during gameplay, DVD playback seems to require immense effort from the 360 and PS3, and even the consoles in "idle" mode consume about ten times the watts of the Wii. Of course, the consoles consume a minimal amount of power in standby, which is substantially more when the Wii's To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater.

So if you're looking to shave a few bucks off your power bill or do your treehuggin' duty to the environment, it looks like the choice is fairly obvious -- though you'll naturally have to look elsewhere than the Wii to get your video playback kicks.

Re: Nintendo Wii beats up on the competition in power savings
Well duh. With how pathetically weak it is of course it will use less power than 360, PS3 and a PC.
Now they need to do a non-obvious study and compare the Wii's power to the last gen consoles that it is more like. With Xbox being more powerful than the Wii will probably still need more power. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Re: Nintendo Wii beats up on the competition in power savings
Let's see, the Wii has one core, the Wii doesn't have a hard drive, the cooling system is significantly smaller than that of the PS3's & XBox 360's, and it's using a much OLDER CPU, that requires a lot less power to operate. Of course it's going to be more economically friendly.
If you want a fair comparison, you could really only compare it to the new PS2 that's come out. In which case, more than likely the PS2 is going to win.

I would never do that, but I do like the Wii a lot. I like it because of the innovative gameplay. Yeah it isn't as powerful and it isn't as good looking, but gaming is not all about the power of the system that you put the game out on. It's about gameplay and the entertainment value. So I won't say that it's better than 360 or anything else, but I will not say it is worse either. It's the games that make the console... not the console that makes the games.
