Because the only measure of the worth of a game console is the length of time it takes to get from full power off to the main menu:
| Console | Startup time(seconds) |
| Nintendo DSi | 5 seconds |
| Sony Vita | 18 seconds (includes holding power button) |
| Sony PSP Go (w/16 GB M2 card) | 19 seconds |
| Sony PS3 (60GB fat, with replacement 500 GB HD) | 20 seconds |
| Microsoft Xbox 360 (120GB) | 21 seconds |
