Actual results from that link

The PS3 went down from 209 watts while playing a game to 70 watts during the last gen
Xbox 360 went down from 198 watts to 80 watts while playing

So PS4 and XBox One have a good start, apart from the standby consumption

I'm surprised the Wii U wasn't included in this study, considering it's one of it's few moments to shine (perhaps I answered myself). It uses around 32 Watts max.
