"Zekkyou" said this: "Doesn't change the fact your original comment is nonsense. The estimated lifetime (5~ years) energy cost of an X1 is about $150." I'm glad he knows how much energy a system uses over a 5 year time span when he's assuming how much time someone is gonna spend on a console gaming per day (which he didn't even specify) when everybody's gaming time varies by an incredible amount of time especially over a 5 year time span. The majority of X-box and Playstation owners are probably teenagers from 13-20 who have loads of free time on their hands and love online gaming for the most part like COD and Halo and now GTA5. I would say owners of those consoles average 3-6 hours a day at least givin that amount of time per day over 5 years i'm thinking it would be more than $150 but who knows because nobody knows how much it costs to run consoles unless you never turn a light on and the only thing you run is your game console and even then you have to have your TV on and your internet running to play online games. But to tell someone their comment is "nonsense" and then to state the cost of a consoles energy consumption over a 5 year timespan (not even knowing how many hours per day the console is on using electricity) like it's a fact in my opinion is "nonsense."
