Are you really that stupid?
Next up, power consumption benchmarks : quad xenon 3.0G vs pentium 3 500mhz ... p3 wins! :roll:
Also I would love to explain how the power draw of a console was AT ALL a priority when designing the device. I can guaratee you that the constraints were size, heat output and processing power.

What does the price have to do with it? I have a $250 GPS that can't play DVDs either. 😕 I have a $250 Creative Zen Vision W - it can't play DVDs either!
Not many people use an Xbox or a PS2 as a DVD player anymore. When they came out a DVD player cost you $300. Now a DVD player is $40.

It's "segue" goddamnit. Bring me the head of the editor-in-chief!
The article's content also calls for a MasterOfTheObvious.jpg - anyone who's familiar with the consoles in any sort of technical manner would know this instantly. Hell, my kid brother could probably figure it out based on the physical size of the console.

i get about the same results and my 360 using one of those watt meter things. theyre pretty cool, i use it to test everything! hahah
not suprised the wii won, afterall it has nothing like the grunt of the 360 or PS3, and is merely an update gamecube in an even smaller box and a nice remote. GC itself wasnt even that power mad as it was.
its a rather unfair comparison i think, the 360 and PS3 have so much more hardware, as well as that hardware being newer and more powerful. they both pack multicore CPU's and both pack some pretty deft GPUs with high tranny counts and alot of pixel pushing power. add to that hard disk drives and DVD/BR disc drives.
so yeah the PS3 and 360 use more power, but thats becuase there is a lot more to them. they compare nicely to the computer because essentially thats all they are. computers in small boxes. where as the Wii is more like a traditional console that does the job a console was always meant to. play fun games.

Heat output = power in

$40? your paying too much
i can go to ASDA (wal-mart for the UK) and buy one for £9.99 brand spankin.
its utter garbage of course, but the point is i can buy a dvd player for less than most movies cost.
