As you know, the Xbox One is designed to have different States of "power off": one sees in a State of rest, power-efficient but always receptive and ready to start up instantly using joypad or via voice command "Xbox, On", while the other is a simple stand-by status with all console systems switched off.

Microsoft has now clarified what the console power consumption in these two States of sleep: the first, that of efficient rest, will use approximately 14 Watts, which is equivalent to about four Euro cents per day. In its lowest power state, instead the Xbox One utilizerrà half watt, which is about one-third to one-hundredth of a Euro per day.

MS is then taken on the position of Consul, reaffirming as it did in the past that this is designed to make it better, both aesthetically and from the point of cooling systems, in horizontal position; It is not, however, been excluded the possibility to place it vertically.
