That's actually pretty good for PlayStation consoles, but it's still better to turn off the console.
I'll agree to a point, but rest power consumption is extremely low, and I have solar panels that generate my electricity.
There are good ways of presenting cardboard packaging, though. It doesn't have to look cheap.
So you just make space around your house for a huge and totally useless carton box to help you sell a console for like $30 more dollars 7 years down the line when a new one comes out? That's wild.
In that case why even bother printing anything on the outside of it?
Yo.
I live in a 800 sq ft apartment (used to be 650 fq ft until recently); if kept every console box, damn near half my living space would be taken up by console boxes. I'm realistically never going to sell the thing, and if I do, I'm certainly not trying to get rid of it as a collector's item. Once the retailer's return period is up and the thing is still in working shape, out in the trash/recycling it goes.
I always repurpose them. I still have some great Super Metroid coasters I made from the original box.
And I didn't assume it would. But you said it like it was a justification for them not bothering with the appearance of the packaging, but clearly they do care about that.
