Xbox One spends 289 kilowatt-hours yearly (there is a large consumption due to the use of voice commands), compared to the Xbox 360, which had a consumption of 70 kilowatt-hours per year. Nearly half of this annual consumption (44 %) refers to consumption in standby mode. Playstation 4 had a consumption of 181 kilowatt-hours of energy per year mainly due to inefficient charging controllers and other accessories for the console via USB. For comparison, the Playstation 3 console has had an annual consumption of 64 kilowatt hours.

A positive example of energy efficiency is Nintendo, which reduced annual electricity consumption from 40 kWh of the previous generation of the Wii console to 37 kilowatt-hours of the latest Wii U console. For more information about the survey check the official site.
