Found this on another post and thought it was interesting (Console Power Consumption report by NRDC).
Full report.

Still, much more can be done to dramatically reduce console energy consumption. Manufacturers understandably focused most of their launch efforts on getting the consoles working, not on optimizing energy efficiency. There are many opportunities left to dramatically reduce the consoles’ energy consumption and the earlier the better, so consumers who buy these consoles over the next year or two can benefit from these improvements.

We expect the energy consumption of the new generation of game consoles to go down progressively over time due to the natural trend in semiconductor “die shrink,” the reduction in size and corresponding increase in efficiency of semiconductor circuits. However, semiconductor efficiency is only one factor in the efficiency of the overall device: Hardware architecture, system on chip optimization, software optimization, and power management of components are other major opportunities to cut energy waste. They are the main reasons why mobile devices such as phones, tablets, and even laptop computers are so much more energy efficient than stationary devices.

Game console manufacturers can leverage the same design best practices to reduce console energy consumption beyond natural die size reduction. They should do so as soon as possible, before too many units of the current models are sold and lock in high energy consumption for consumers for the next five years. As of January 18, 2014, just two months after their release, 8 million PS4 and Xbox One consoles had already been sold globally. Just these two months’ worth of sales will consume 8,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity and be responsible for the emissions of 3 million metric tons of CO2 over the life of the consoles.

Much of that energy will be consumed when no one is using the console but it is still listening for a voice command in the middle of the night and using higher power than necessary to keep USB ports active.

The National Resource Defense Council has released a shocking new report about the ravenous power-consumption of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, drawing in enough electricity collectively to power all the homes in Houston. The NRDC’s study estimates that the current generation of consoles is costing American consumers $1 billion annually in utility bills, $400 million of which is drawn while sitting unused in standby mode.

What immediately stands out is the huge jump in standby power consumption for the current generation, particularly the Xbox One. Apparently eagerly waiting around all night for someone to say “Xbox on!” is extremely demanding. The PlayStation 4′s idles at about half of the Xbox One’s consumption, but still substantially more than previous generations.

The new consoles stack up much better when they’re active, though, running more efficiently than the first versions of their predecessors. Assuming that subsequent editions of the Xbox One and PS4 will make comparable improvements to the previous generation, then the situation might not be so dire as the NRDC forecasts.

Thrown in at the end to shame its peers, the Wii U may be struggling in sales, but it is absolutely destroying the competition in energy consumption. Perhaps a serious energy crisis is all that Nintendo needs for a new marketing angle to get back in the game (them punchlines).

Just for comparison sake...

OnLive Game System: 6W

Dat electric bill savings. See OnLive is saving you money in ways you probably didn't even think of!

Just a little announcement: new releases for this week will not be until Friday.

Some more screenshots of Last Light. I'm curious to see how the PS4 and Xbox One versions will compare. Surely the image will be sharper/clearer due to the increased resolution and the fact it's not streamed but I wonder how the overall IQ and FPS will compare considering you can max out the OnLive (PC) version (a setting or two needs to be dialed back to keep 60 FPS though). Not bad for a $8.99 purchase that I'm playing on a console I got for free!

Anything on upcoming games that will likely launch day and date on Onlive? Or pre-orders or something? Haven't used Onlive in years, since like before Perlman resigned, but got two 50% off coupons and because you get Steam keys now apparently they could probably come in handy.

Unfortunately I cannot say much on upcoming releases. Starting next week new releases will shift to Thursday with any further changes happening as needed. As of right now pre-orders are a no go. That might change in the future but right now OnLive considers release dates tentative until the game is out in the open; they don't want to hurt customer relations by advertising something they might not be able to deliver. Rest assured though that there are several places to learn about new/possible future releases such as the official OnLive community portal, the OnLive site, and (of course) this thread. I will say however, after speaking with OnLive, that things have definitely picked up since relaunch as far as publisher relations! Keep your eye on OnLive during E3!

CloudLift is it, as far as Valve are concerned. They're on record saying that remote streaming of this kind is too niche a market for their tastes, which is why they partnered up with OnLive.

As bongs stated...I don't think we'll see an alternative from Valve anytime soon.

Power of the cloud! Game looks fantastic even though it's streamed at 720p.

Sorry for the lull in news guys. OnLive has been working on improvements these past couple of weeks so releases have been put on hold. They've been teasing something though by releasing puzzle pieces everyday pointing towards a new UI. The sluggish UI seems to be a big complaint by many users so this should be very welcome. Not sure when it launches but I'm sure it'll be soon. Here's all the pieces compiled so far.

This thread reads way too much like advertising now.

 

[Caayn]

This thread reads way too much like advertising now.

Well, we've only really got one user who is active with this and posts about it, so discussions aren't going to exist.

I think OnLive is a nice concept and could be really useful for a lot of people. The problem they seem to be having is that people don't know about them. The name OnLive was hot news some years ago, but since then it went under the radar of the masses and stayed there. I wouldn't be surprised if most people believe that OnLive is dead.

OnLive needs to get word out there that they're still here.

I actually don't think that Enectic has ever stated outright that they work for OnLive, but I do find it pretty hard to believe that's not the case all told. That being said, I don't mind having reasonably comprehensive updates so I'm a bit torn on that front.

 

[Ade]

I'm one of the moderators on their new official community portal.

Hence my "works" in quotes.

 

[thehillissilent]

OnLive is basically a PC rental service for a limited number of steam games. In addition, there is the netflix-like Playpack. However, there gaming selection still leaves a lot to be desired.

I used to be a big supporter of OnLive, but I got tired of waiting for them to get the big publishers and I ended up getting both a gaming PC and laptop along with a PS4 and Wii-U.

OnLive integrating with Steam was cool and all, but where are the big publishers like EA, Activision, Bethesda, etc?

I do have to admit latency has improved, but there is still no real reason for me to use the service anymore.
