The discussion about what the consoles can or can not do is honestly not solving anything. 


Saying that the consoles should or should not be doing a thing is simply trying to throw the problem to someone else.

says two-digit standby power (which they say is needed for background updating). At least in Germany, nobody sane will 
leave the thing in that expensive mode (a watt-year is $3 here). Switchable extension power cords are being actively
