Its sad how some people are grasping at straws

Netflix is only available in the Americas and Europe.

Here's a quick look at console break down per region in millions (base on VGC data)

 

  XBOX360 PS3
NA 40.6 25
Europe 22.4 27.3
Japan 1.5 8.7
Others 7.2 8.7
Total 71.7 69.7

From here,

 

With Netflix Access
   
XBOX360 63
PS3 52.5

Soooo... the Xbox360 install base has about 10.5million more consoles located in regions where Netflix is available.

Lets also not forget the fact that not all of Europe has access to Netflix which makes the Xbox360 install base with Netflix access even larger.

It should also be noted that the Xbox360 and PS3 are not the only devices that support Netflix.

For the PS3 to be the No. 1 Netflix streaming device is quite an achievement considering there are less PS3s in regions where Netflix is available as compared to the X360.

People can bring up stuff like "but the X360 has more apps and shit". but it doesn't change the fact that the ps3 IS THE streaming device of choice for Netflix even surppasing the X360 which has MORE Consoles in the wild.

Keep trying to grasp at straws if you wish, you're just looking foolish and desperate.


Isn't it also "grasping for straws" ( as you put it) te same thing when PS users get excited that more people use netflix on that decice than 360?
