Netflix still hasn't launched in Germany, but Amazon Prime Instant Video starts here in 2 days... I'm still not sold to the streaming idea, but with €29 for the whole first year, I will give it a try... much much cheaper than Watchever €9 per month, so over €100 per year.

According to Amazon.com, that service is available on 360, XBO, Wii, WiiU, PS3 and PS4: http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/devices#Game%20Consoles

I have 5 of these 6 consoles, so which one is best suited for these steaming services?

The WiiU? It has less power consumption and should be quieter than 360, XBO, PS3 and PS4. Infos like chapter, time, audio settings could be displayed on the screen of the tablet controller instead on the main screen. Perhaps even off-tv is supported. HD streaming should be no problem.

Or the Wii? Even less power consumption and a more tv-like remote... but can it handle HD streams?
