Is your Nintendo Switch a power guzzler?

Thanks to Danish company E.On, you can now compare the power consumption of this generation’s consoles with one another. The following figures (in rising order) are based on an active operation of 2 hours per day:

Xbox One X: ~ 36€
PS4 Pro: ~ 34€
Xbox One: ~ 25€
PS4 Basic Model: ~ 18€

PS2: ~ 5€
PS1: ~ 2€
Xbox 360: ~ 36€
