Wow, I just found out that the Wii is eating 10 W in sleep mode if you leave on Connect24! 
It says so on page 4 of that article. That cancels out any savings if you play 1 hour or less per day. If you turn off Connect24, consumption will drop to 1.3 W. I'm going to do taht right now.
I guess that gives you the answer to your question It says so on page 4 of that article. That cancels out any savings if you play 1 hour or less per day.

I'm going to do taht right now.Ok, so if 10 million 360 or PS3 sales were substituted with 10 million Wii sales, by how many degrees Fahrenheit would that decrease global warming? Any suggestions?
Almost none because according to ESA the average American gamer plays 1.1 hours a day. Difference is 511.5 watts per month so on the monthly bill would be $0.05 using $0.10 per KW.
