Here's a great read about the power consumption of games consoles, now that the Xbox360, Wii and PS3 have all been launched.
Unsurprisingly, the Nintendo Wii is by far the nicest, consuming very little power in comparison to the others. In fact, if you really want to make sure you have a greener wii, then try disabling the Connect24 service:
"The Wii requires 10 Watts to run Connect24 (which will connect to Nintendo's online service and notify you of system updates) racking up a cost of about $1 a month which is nothing too significant, but still about 5X more than if it were just turned off. Turn Connect24 off, and it's back down to normal (1 watt)."
