Mine's a PS3 Slim and it averages around 90-100 watts when gaming and less when just hanging out in the menu.
The PS3's wattage depends on the model. Generally, it can range between 80 to 200 watts, with newer models being more efficient.
A PS3 uses about 80-150 watts, depending on the model and what you're doing with it. The older 'fat' models are on the higher end, while the 'slim' versions are more efficient.
