Launch PS3 vs PS4 max power supply rating

[Shin-Ra]

> The launch PS3 (90nm CPU/90nm GPU)

380Watts (max. power supply rating)
≈200Watts (typical high-end consumption)
1.2W standby*, 171W idle, 172W Blu-ray movie, 205W Gameplay (varies by specific application and climate)


> The launch PS4 (28nm APU, low-power secondary custom chip for background and low-power standby processing)

250Watts (max. power supply rating)

so maybe ≈130Watts (typical high-end consumption) if Sony's over-rated the PS4 PSU to a similar degree?


Like PS3, PS4 has a worldwide power supply (AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz)


*Remember the PS3 doesn't do very much in standby, just wake when receiving a Bluetooth connection, at a specific time for PS+ updates or by LAN/WLAN for Remote Play. PS4 can continue uploading, downloading, keeps gamestate for when you return and probably receives messages with a flashing indicator on the light strip to notify activity.
