all outlets in houses (in America..) uses the same voltage......so it probably a very lil difference

Is that a lot for a PC or no?

Something is wrong with those numbers.   I doubt that could power the laser required to read the discs.

That would be likely if the gamecube didn't use 40 watts itself.

I say the Wii uses around 100, if not less.

From Wikipedia:
Power consumption:
18 watts when switched on[54]
1.3 watts in standby[54]

This still seems quite fishy to me.
...Huh.
