It feels like a bit of a waste having all these separate power supplies for all these separate devices sometimes

like in our tv cabinet there is currently plugged in: a ps2, a ps3, a wii u, a wii u gamepad charger, a wii, an snes, an xbox 360, a nintendo switch, and a tv

it feels like there ought to be a way to have a single power supply, a single point of AC-DC conversion, that goes to all of these

at least the snes and playstations have internal psus and don't need an external brick

@Felthry there's aftermarket Wii U gamepad charging cables, but that's the only one I know about

@noiob Yeah this isn't a thing that I think exists, especially because the internal PSUs on the playstations would limit the use of a single-point-of-conversion system anyway; they need AC input.

@Felthry yeah, I'm just glad the gamepad one exists because it's a big PSU for a peripheral that just takes 5V
