I just don’t get how people spend +$500 on a PS5 or an *Xbox to play games that barely work, and the friggin’ thing constantly wasting 500 Watts of power. 🔥⚡

While i spent the same amount of money on a used laptop from 2019, where i can replay my favorite games from the PS2 era (and discovering some hidden gems along the way) using only 45W. 🔌💡🔋🍃

*At least the Series S does makes sense to me, since it’s a lot cheaper and efficent, and it’s mainly targeted for lightweight or previous gen titles.

    My point is that current gen consoles use 500W of power (and PCs use up to 2000W) while your average retro setup tipically uses 45-125W.
