Its much harder for Netflix on Xbox 360.

Theres much more options than on PS3.

360 has

Netflix
Lovefilm
Xbox Video
Now TV
Sky
BlinkBox


And 2 more I cant remember.


On my PS3 I have a choice of 3.

Lovefilm
Netflix
PS Video Store ( Which lacks massively in comparison to Xbox Video )

So if I used my PS3 for any service it would be Netflix.

But the 360 has so much more content and options I use

Netflix, Xbox Video and Now TV combined on Live. The ultimate HD streaming service is what Live is.
Oh and just started using the new NBA app.

This post made me LOL seriously. Bravo, selnor.

It would because its full of sense. 

To disregard this information and say it has no baring on the usage of each platform is well you work it out.

Outside US PSN offers noting even close to Live in comparison in terms of apps and streaming services. PSN UK 6 toal apps. Live UK 30 total apps. Only Netflix and PS video store in UK. Live has now got 8 different options.

Yes, and what's amazing is that, with so far fewer apps and services available on the PS3, more people decide to spend their time consuming multimedia on that machine's Netflix service than on the Xbox, even with all those other apps and online services available that the PS3 does not have on offer, and with the Xbox having a Netflix app of its own. 

Clearly, there must be another factor not related to the breadth of services on offer that is resulting in this situation. 

I think you miss te point. Because there is less choice on PSN the users are automatically choosing the only service Netflix. Whereas the greater coice on Live results in some not evening opting for Netflix at all. Because there are others they may prefer from their taste/choice. So I would expect less users for 1 brand on a system with more choice than 1 with no choice. And in my country the only viable offer on PSN.

So in a further look. I would expect the total usage of streaming services on Live to far exceed PSN total. Lives will just be more evenly spread over the differing services Live offer Worldwide.


No. Netflix is the most popular streaming service, if PS3 beats the 360 in this regard, then nothing on 360 beat the PS3 as far as streaming goes. Thats a simple fact. You can add all the smaller apps like Lovefilm(wich is also available on ps3), it still wouldn't add 1/10th of what is streamed on PS3s Netflix. Its that huge.

One of the reasons PS3 is bigger is because it doesn't have 2 paywalls to access Netflix. You just subscribe and thats it.
