I think he was making a point using exaggeration.



I realised that after reading it again..... ph34r.gif

Xbox.com: Let's talk about the power challenge first. Is Xbox 360 really twice as powerful as Xbox? JR: Yes. Xbox had less than 100 watts of power; Xbox 360 has over 200 watts.

The fact still remains it is over 1.5x the 360.

Edit: Ahh, just re-read the title of the thread. His point was the thread was titled wrong. Not that the numbers were wrong.

Wait, it USES 380W or it's RATED for 380W?
Put a kilowatt PSU in a 386, it's not going to burn 1000W. If it did, the vent fan would be blowing 150°F air.
380W rating would be a peak level the power supply is designed to handle. For example, if all 3 Cell cores are crunching 100% of their cycles, Blu-ray is running at 8x, HDD is copying data, 4 controllers are charging, Wi-Fi is active... see what I'm getting at?
It's a situation that could (and will) happen, that doesn't mean when you are simply playing a game or watching a BD or DVD that it's using 380W.
Can't we have a single day without wild, uninformed PS3/Wii speculation?

what are you? nuts?

it is a good question though
