Does the PS4 console consume electricity when it is switched off but remains on the socket?

Does that draw electricity somehow?

Everything in the socket needs some electricity. Unless you turn off the electricity.

And does this affect the electricity bill or is it not worth mentioning?

Yes yes! The current continues to flow through the lines and on to the coils etc. This creates a magnetic field and heat, which means that the current is converted and consumed!

Providing energy always costs energy and that is exactly what a power supply does.

A power supply or the supply board has the task of supplying components of an electrical device with the correct voltage and the correct current. The 230V AC voltage from the network that is connected to the socket may need to be transformed, rectified, smoothed and stabilized so that the respective voltage required is also present at the corresponding point.

In order to be able to provide this energy, a power supply unit requires energy even when it is not switched on, because even when the device is not switched on, this voltage is present and is made available.

When the device is not switched on, the device naturally consumes significantly less power, but a current is still drawn from the network even if it is very small.

It's like you're tightening a rubber band. The energy is released and can be called up when you let go of the rubber band, but as long as the energy is not needed the rubber band must remain punished if you need the energy and this is exactly what energy needs to keep the condition.

It still draws a little current like most electronic devices.

On the electricity bill that is about 3-5 euro per year.

Thank you very much

Yes, very minimal but invisible. You can see this because you can't turn on the Playstation 4 immediately if you have inserted it takes up to 5 seconds. With the Ps3 you saw it on the glowing red dot at the switch.
