Power consumption of current-gen consoles:

That 20% is just about right from that table (172W for original 360, so with 20% headroom it's just in area of its 203W rated power supply). "Fat" PS3 has 380W power supply, replaced with 250W unit in "Slim" and 190W in "Superslim". I'd say quite a lot of watts, even for more hungry GPU/CPU combos of today in that "Fat" model.

Sony went nuts with their original PS3 model power supply.  The system at peak would pull about 205-210 watts but they gave the thing a 380 watt power supply.  Talk about lost efficiency there.  That thing probably wasted more watts than the entire PS3 consumes in its current format.
