so it was rather a question on the worldwide level, given current energy mixes with coal, gas and oil first, followed by nuclear power, and renewable sources in the last place.
What's a "folding farm"? Some data center? So even if the Wii is not breaking records in its energy savings, there's still a factor of ten compared to the other systems. Seems kind of not going with the times. I wonder how much a PS2 eats though.
Factors against the Wii in terms of energy conservation:
1. Wii allows you to keep your SD tube, you won't have to buy a low power LCD.
2. Wii wants to stay in sleep mode all night waiting for updates, won't let you pull the power plug.

"Why do they call it the xbox 360? Because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away"
Well not much of a news, but I think it intressting to see that how technology goes forward. I mean you can look at PS3 and Xbox360 and relise that the power they need, for five years ago what could you do? You find the same thing in the car industry, old cars with barley of 100 hp that uses the same amount of fuel as a beast on over 200 hp today. That is technical progress, the question is smiple how you use it, some companys decid that mayby 150 hp is enough and we can also show a lower fuel consumption. Meanwhile sone goes for use the energy gain for the most power as possible. Nothing is wrong, but as I am in the auto buisness I can say that we have to focus a little more on fuel consumption these days.
Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!
bottom line 10-11 wii users can play video games while 1 360/ps3 owner chugs the same amount of energy id say that pretty signifagent
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.
