Xbox One will turn on faster than your TV while in stand-by mode

4.6
Xbox One will reportedly boot up faster than your TV, according to Microsoft’s director of product planning, Albert Penello.

Penello took to Reddit (via Videogamer) to answer fan questions and explain the power states of the console, saying, “There are basically three states. On, Off and Standby. On is On. Off is Off. Standby allows “Xbox On”, quick resume, checking for updates, etc.”

Penello was also keen to outline how quickly the console will boot-up in stand-by mode, “From standby, it’s likely the Xbox will be on before the TV is completely powered up.”
There is no information however about the exact time it would take for the process, but I guess that’s something we will find out come launch.

Microsoft also intends for Xbox One to be spend most of its time in stand-by mode, from this mode the console can launch TV or games without using much power, according to Penello, “This is the mode we’d like to see people in, obviously, so you get back to gaming or watching TV really quick.”

If your TV takes 6 seconds to boot up, it must be a tube TV from early 2000's.

What is the difference between stand-by mode and sleep mode?
There would be no reason even current gen consoles couldn't come out of stand-by quicker than the TV.

I would see why this is a good thing. You won't have to wait for the start up screen that you have to wait on with the Xbox 360.
