I found it interesting that the fan on the PS3 slim consumes almost as much power as the whole Wii.

That's a fairly ridiculous statement.  The wii draws about 15-17 watts?  12 Volt fan at 1.2 amps or 5 Volt fan at 3 amps?  are you kidding me????

Someone posted this the other day:

"This 12V, 1.3A monster rivals the best fans found in desktop PC machines. Sony spared no expense."

 

I see the link now, I still find it hard to believe.  That's a lot of amps for something that doesn't require that much torque.
