PS3 is Netflix’s most popular platform

MCV Staff 5th December 2012 Publishing

Popular streaming movie and TV service Netflix has announced that Sony’s PS3 is the most popular platform with its customers.

"PS3 is our largest TV-connected platform in terms of Netflix viewing, and this year, at times, even surpassed the PC in hours of Netflix enjoyment to become our number one platform overall," Netflix CEO Reed Hastings stated.

"PS3 is a natural fit for Netflix in terms of developing and first deploying our most advanced features. We can transparently update our application with new features on a daily basis, and through the free PlayStation Network, people around the world can sign up for Netflix directly from their PS3."

SCEA’s senior VP of business development Phil Rosenberg added: "This is a major milestone, and one we’re particularly proud of considering the myriad Netflix-compatible streaming devices on the market, from other gaming consoles to smart TVs and internet-connected set-top boxes."
