Game consoles draw 80–180 watts while actively playing and 10–30 watts in rest mode. Frequent gaming can add meaningful cost; leaving it in standby wastes energy without providing much convenience.
| Basis | Cost |
|---|---|
| Per hour (while running, 180 W typical) | $0.034 |
| Per day (3 h/day, 7/7 days) | $0.10 |
| Per month | $3.10 |
| Per year | $37.14 |
| Hourly range (small 90 W – large 220 W) | $0.017 – $0.041 |
