Electricity is expensive over here. A "normal" amount to pay every bill is around the $400-500 Mark. I believe the providers are just greedy, because the watt price isn't too expensive.

I don't mean to discount your experience, but most people are looking at the games to decide what console they want.  I bet the vast majority of people have no idea how much electricity each console uses.

Is that yearly, or monthly? If monthly, holy shit, I'll never complain about my electricity bill ever again. If yearly, you pay about half to two thirds of what I'm paying. It's been on a steady rise for years now. (I also probably consume more energy than the average household because, especially in winter I need to have the lights on pretty bright for hours in order to be able to work properly. I use mostly low energy consuption LED bulbs, but still, it adds up.)


And I didn't buy the WiiU based on my electricity bill either. :P

But, like I said, I appreciate the effort. And since I really do have to watch these things a little, yeah, I did know prior to buying it, that it has low energy consumption. I realize I'm the exception though. ;)
