Dean Takahashi: 360 uses 194watts, PS3 171 watts, Wii 17watts

To test the power efficiency of my products, I used a simple test. I got a device that measures electrical usage. It's called the Kill A Watt. You plug one end into the wall and plug your device into the three-pronged socket on the Kill A Watt. Press the watt button and you can see how much electricity the device is using.
The game consoles yielded some predictable results. The Xbox 360 Elite came in at 194 watts. That's why it has the whirring fans inside the box as well as in the power supply that is inside the large "brick" in the power cord. The PlayStation 3 came in at 171 watts. But the Nintendo Wii consumed a measly 17 watts.
