Something that gamers are starting to take into consideration when looking to buy a new console is energy efficiency. Luckily for them, a new survey has revealed that the Nintendo Switch is the most energy-efficient of the current-generation consoles, as well as the eco-friendliest.<\/p>\n

It’s likely not surprising that consoles vary in the amount of energy they consume. The Xbox One, for example, was notorious for driving up the energy bill<\/a> if left on all night long. Coupled with the public\u2019s increased desire to find products with a low-carbon footprint that are better for the environment, demand for eco-friendly electronics has increased among consumers. The demand for energy-efficient consoles may have been what inspired NerdWallet to conduct a study to find which consoles will save consumers the most money on their electricity bills.<\/p>\n

The data for the study was collected between December 2, 2020 and January 4, 2021. It examined the \u201clifetime\u201d cost of a gaming console, with \u201clifetime\u201d referring to the expected time that a person keeps and uses their console before upgrading to the next generation. To calculate the cost of power, the study measured active gaming power usage and standby power usage over a course of six to nine years, the average amount of time that the researchers figured consumers kept their consoles for before upgrading. Of all current-generation consoles, the study found that the Switch<\/a> was the most energy-efficient, with a lifetime energy cost of about $143.46.<\/p>\n

The Switch\u2019s energy cost was much lower than its current-generation competitors, the PlayStation 5<\/a> and the Xbox Series X. The study found that the Xbox Series X had a total lifetime energy cost of $283.20, greater than the PS5\u2019s lifetime energy cost of $234.45. The study also looked at prior generations and found that older Nintendo consoles also used less energy than their competitors. The lifetime energy cost of the Wii U and the Wii, for example, was $40.66 and $117.86 respectively.<\/p>\n

Those numbers are much lower than PlayStation consoles, as the PS3 had a lifetime energy cost of $229.45 and the PS4 had a cost of $292.65. Xbox consoles<\/a> were the least energy-efficient, with the Xbox 360 having a lifetime energy cost of $258.26 and the Xbox One costing $363.64.<\/p>\n

The study looked at much more than energy costs, as it also examined the price of each base console<\/a>, their accessories, games, and services to calculate which consoles had the highest overall lifetime cost. The Switch still came in as the most cost effect current-generation console, with an average lifetime cost of about $1,244.68. The Xbox Series X was the middle-of-the-road console, with a lifetime cost of $2,313.15. The PS5 was the most expensive, costing about $2,429.69 over its lifetime.<\/p>\n
