It did draw “a few extra watts” of power during the first three hours of standby in order to charge devices with its USB ports. Sony’s new console won plaudits from the NRDC for its standby mode, which consumed 1 watt or less and allowed for booting up within 10 to 15 seconds.
Microsoft has not provided official power consumption figures for either console Sony’s listed hardware specifications say that the standard PS5 is rated at a power draw of 350 watts, while the PS5 Digital Edition is slightly lower at 340 watts.
XBOX DRAWIT FULL
The group said it was unable to obtain a Series X for full testing, but expects that the beefier console would use more energy than a Series S. The NRDC’s analysis used a PlayStation 5 and an Xbox Series S, which has less processing power than an Xbox Series X, and also doesn’t have an optical disc drive. Xbox Series X review: Microsoft recaptures the magic of the Xbox 360 era The report extrapolated that extra usage through 2025, and calculated that it could total 4 billion extra kilowatt-hours of energy - the equivalent of a single large, coal-burning power plant’s annual electricity generation. The new Xboxes’ “Instant-on” mode still draws 10 watts in standby, said the NRDC.
XBOX DRAWIT PS4
However, the NRDC criticized Microsoft and Sony for choosing not to make that the default power setting - the same charge that the organization levied about the PS4 and Xbox One. The energy-saving modes allow users to resume full operation within 10 to 15 seconds while drawing less than 1 watt of electricity on standby. The NRDC’s analysis - which it also performed in 2013 at the launch of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 - praises the low-power modes that both Sony and Microsoft’s new consoles offer. However, the NRDC found that the new consoles draw less power than previous-generation systems when playing backward-compatible games, and while using streaming video apps. The PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series S both use significantly more electricity than their predecessors when playing games designed for the new consoles, according to a report by the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental-advocacy group.
