X1 power consumption

Reviewing my power bill today. Comparing Feb/13 to Feb/14. The temperature average between the months from last year to this differs by 2C, so not a huge amount. My electricity fee is locked in for 1 more year, so that hasn't changed. Other than changing
all the light bulbs in my house to energy efficient bulbs, all I have changed electronically is adding my X1 (Dec/13). It hasn't been turned off at all (other then reboots from updates) since Dec/13. My electricity usage is actually down just a hair then compared
to last year. By no means am I saying that the X1 is saving me money while it stays turned on, but it sure aint costing me money by leaving it on 24/7.

I really thought I would see a small amount of increase since Dec, but that hasn't been the case. I just found it interesting, that's all.

Can we just have a vote for the PS4 now ?

from the smart meeter plugged into my property. it took me about a month to do it but I was able to figure out exactly how much energy every device in my house used under use and on standby. the X1 will eliminate 3 other components in my home at this time.
also after reading the power consumption rates and the way the X1 uses power allows me to estimated between $100 -$200 a year of course even $50 would be welcome.

Just curious, but what exactly are you using that takes so much power on standby? And where have you seen any info on the Xbox One's power consumption?
