Why is Microsoft seemingly determined to avoid addressing Xbox One's energy-wasteful default mode, which is costing consumers millions of dollars a year in electricity bills? The New York-based non-profit has repeatedly requested that Microsoft review its current policy of supplying Xbox Ones with highest energy setting as default, without an obvious option to reduce power consumption on initial set-up. In a report last year, the NRDC highlighted the high amount of energy used by current generation consoles in standby mode. In default, your Xbox One is never really "off." It is waiting for you to wander by and say the words "Xbox On." When it hears those words, it switches itself on.
