Instead of convincing regular people to reduce power usage from playing Xbox, Microsoft should look into reducing the power usage for their large scale data centers. They likely use far more power there than consumer Xboxes ever could.,(reply>), I'm all for more efficient gaming, but let's stop blaming small usage for problems when the real problems are big usage. They have to replace stuff all the time. They could switch to more efficient stuff as they go. They could also do things like install solar farms at the data centers or improve the heating/cooling systems. Yes, it'll cost more money than having a software patch made, but they have billions in profit they can reinvest in their business if this is that important to them.,(reply>), It would cost them Millions if not billions of dollars to change there hardware for more efficient components. It's much easier to push a bios update to xbox to drop apu performance.
