you might be correct if you pluged the controller directly into the wall, but once the console is on, it sucks in the same amount of power no matter what you got plugged into it. its not going to suddenly use more voltage cuz of a controller.


Also even if that were the case, you'd still be spending more with a wireless because you have to spend on batteries, then the electricity used to power the reciever you plug into the console.

(but as i said, uses the same amount of power)
