> In comparison, Microsoft says its Xbox Series X consumes 153W during gameplay, and that decreases to 74W for the Series S.

I feel like this is a good headline and pandering more than solving a problem. I think there are other ways in a household to reduce energy usage that are more important. Starting with HVACR. I’m not saying this isn’t a good idea. I’m just saying that there are much more significant energy users in a home.


Consoles used to be very power efficient but since the pro-console era launched they have basically become smallish PCs that you connect to a television.
