NOT ENOUGH: Microsoft's Xbox One has already reduced Instant On consumption from 18W to 12.5W.

Turning off the Xbox One's Instant On function can provide a near 40% reduction in the console's annual power consumption, saving up to US$250mil (RM927.56mil) across the US, advises an NRDC report. 

The Natural Resources Defence Council, a non-profit environmental group headquartered in New York City, is encouraging Microsoft to adjust how the Xbox One is set up and sold in order to reduce power consumption on an individual and cumulative level.
