@Bolded:  I agree that I stream TV shows more than movies.  The thing is I have multiple TV shows I watch every day.  From Hulu, Netflix and Crunckyroll, I probably watch about 30 shows a week.  Watching all those shows can easily outstrip my gaming time even when I play MP.  I am more consistant watching those shows because i am more interested in what is happening then playing MP.  Also when there is a drought of new games and content to play, I still have those shows to entertain me.

I wonder if there how many shows other people track with their Apps that they watch daily.

Not anywhere near as many i would say, and many that do would be using a pc/laptop/tablet or a standard tv/cable box.

Why would people use those other devices.  I cut my cable box because the PS3 and 360 provide the on demand apps I need.  Consuming TV shows and movies on the PC/Laptop/Tablet is for bit size on the road scenerio.  I highly doubt people who watch their main shows use those devices when they have a console connected to their TV.  Also not everyone has a smart TV that has apps.  I do not and I do not play on buying a new TV until the ones I have no longer work.  From my understanding people do not replace TVs unless there is such a superios option or their current one break down.
