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.

If I have netflix but I have a superior cheaper and more flexible service or number of services. Which will I use? I may use one of the others or a combination.
If I only have netflix. which will I use. netflix.
That was Selnors, perfectly valid, point.

Its also a plus that Netflix owners on the PS3 get to rent Blu Rays and any normal DVD gets upscaled. 360 owners must look to another device.

The only thing a 360 owner needs to look to another device for is Bluray. 360 upscales DVDs to 1080p via inbuilt hardware upscaler chip as opposed to PS3 software upscaler.
I own Blurays but would always rent HD films on Live in 1080p. Its cheaper and faster. Also Xbox Video has a great 1080p picture in comparison to other streaming services or download services.
