Okay, I found this a bit interesting, don't know if you will. It doesn't really matter a lot, but still.

The Ps3 uses 380 watts an hour (source: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=356 , or just google it)

Compared to this, the Ps2 used 45 watts an hour.

 

The X360 uses 160 watts an hour

The original used ~ 70.

 

The Wii uses ~ 17 watts an hour when on, 1-2 when standby.

A comparison is that the Gamecube used roughly 30-40 watts (differing reports) when used.

 

The DS was hard to find anything about, same for GBA. One thing though.

I'm playing FE8 on DS now. It's a GBA game. Well, I play on minimal electricity, and it has played almost 40 hours without a refill now (the light just recently became red). So I believe that the DS uses about 3 times as much electricity as the GBA did.

PsP, no info.

 

BTW, this was just a little fun fact that I posted. It doesn't really mean anything

 

Prices if you live in USA  (average price) should be around this.

 

24/7 use of Wii connect 24 365 days a year = ~ 1 dollar

Use of Wii for an average of 3 hours on a day (not necessarily played, but on), for the entire year = 2 dollars

3 hours Ps3 (on) a day average for the year = 40 dollars

3 hours X360 (on) a day average for the year = 18 dollars

 

In some parts of Europe, the prices are probably slightly higher.
