Here is a rather interesting article. Out of all the consoles on the market today, which one is sucking the most juice from your system for you to properly play it. In other words, which console are power companies loving the best right about now? The less power-draining console shouldn't be a shocker (how low the number is might be though) but the top power consumer could be a surprise to you out there.

The war between the three major consoles continues on. So far this year, Wii is winning the sales war, followed by XBOX 360, with PS3 trailing not far behind. We have already compared the PS3 and XBOX 360 from a game developer's point of view, and he favoured the XBOX 360 as well.

Are any of these consoles power-hogs? Is the tiny Wii really that much more efficient than the big boys? Most likely the results of these tests won't sway your judgement, but they still may be interesting to look at.
