    Wii's Uses About One-Tenth Power of 360

    The hopefully non-prophetically named Singe did a little bit of research on Wii power consumption since the thing is on 24/7. Turns out that Nintendo's nifty new console isn't just light on power use, it's super light.

    Wii:

    - In Standby Mode: 10w
    - Idle @ Wii menu: 17w
    - Running a Wii Game (Test with Zelda / Trauma Center) in 480i: 17w

    37" Sharp Aquos LCD TV:
    - In Standby Mode: 40w
    - Turned on: 180w

    XBox 360:
    - In Standby Mode: 2w
    - Idle @ Dashboard: ~140w
    - Running a Game: ~160w
    - Playing a DVD: ~110w
