2.) Why is the power consumption of consoles always higher?
The fact is that gamers don't really think about how much power their console or PC consumes and most developers develop their games on very powerful systems and rarely think about optimization.The next graphics card is also a good idea, with even more power. However, if you were to develop your games on an average PC/environment, the result would be better and would use fewer watts.
