Much like the design and remote operator, energy consumption is also one of the key factors that are under extensive discussion these days. With "Go Environment-friendly" being the jargon today, doubters expect that Sony could decide to join the Go Eco-friendly transformation and market a totally Environment-friendly item in form of the PS4, which will eat practically very low power levels.

Well, permit aside extremely low power levels, something that Sony will need to make certain in PS4 would be substantial alleviation in regards to the energy drawing ability of their upcoming generation gaming console. Everybody is very well informed of the verifiable truth that the PS3 is such a big energy sucker.

In truth, you may be surprised to listen to that merely leaving your PS3 turned on (yes, we're talking about the idle state) for a year would cost you a whooping $157! On the contrary, if you play it night and day 365days a year, it'll just cost you about 8-10bucks a lot more - just what utter waste of electricity, isn't really it?

Nonetheless, it will be rather hard to handle the massive upgrades in efficiency in an environmentally friendly style, especially without an optical media in the storage drive (assuming that PS4 will certainly run online and games will be downloaded and install as opposed to being reduced DVD/Blu-Ray disks or hard disk drives).

Consequently, it can be only regarded as a pleasant supposition, which looks so hard to be a fact; nevertheless Sony will certainly need to severely guarantee that the PS4 doesn't follow up in free throw line up of the most pricey electronic/electrical devices to operate, also in the stand-by or idle mode.

Microsoft's X-Box 360 isn't as well great either as it would certainly cost you around $125 per year also if you leave it still, but the Nintendo's Wii is totally the opposite. It is estimated that Wii won't also cost regarding $15 annually, if left idle.

So, the next gen X-Box and PlayStation gaming systems will definitely have to provide a damn to the power consumption, if they wish to stay competitive with the Wii2.

Additionally, if Sony doesn't do anything concerning the power sucking attributes of PS3 and increase the performance level in PS4, it would be certainly scary to think of how much energy the PS4 will actually draw, also if you leave it on for a couple of months and take place a tour.
