that is a link to the webpage that does the studies. it has more relevant info on there than the article.  it also has the tags for the numbers in each colum so we know what they mean

Much appreciated. I just updated the OP with your link. Harder to miss that way :)

I wonder where my fat PS3 ranks.


You weren't following the gaming scene in 2006/2007, huh? It would probably rank at number 6.


With the launch 360 probably ranked near dead last since it had to power an airboat fan.


near, it was second to last, with the launch ps3 in last. or possibly tied for last between the 2

 

Edit: on the enervee webpage you can sort them by the different attributes too. just an fyi

Where does the latest XBox model rest? How do consoles compare to laptops?



It's just that simple.

So according to this site you just take a brick and slap a 3tb hdd on it and your console has the best performance in the industry and the energy consumption is ace too.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Thanks. I saw the latest XBox and It's exactly the same in costs. I'm sure the newer one is even cooler/quieter (Giantbomb said they couldn't even hear it run lol) but outside of that no energy savings. It also lacks component inputs.

Why is the 32GB WiiU ranked lower than the 8GB WiiU despite having exactly the same stats, but with a higher overall score? I don't get this website.

They think that the PS3 is 33% faster than the 360, that the 360 is twice as fast as a Wii U, and that Ouya is faster than Wii.

 

Why would you trust their conclusions?

It is literally the same fucking system as the energy catergorys for cars in Germany: A Porsche Cayenne ? C.....a small Nissan Micra ? C

Bullshit
