Seeing as how I'm watching Netflix right now on the Wii, I can believe it.

I think Netflix released some numbers saying which console used Netflix the most. And I believe it went PS3>360>Wii

This is extremely inaccurate as the Wii is actually last. The PS3 is first.

The sample was far too small. And the whole Hulu on Ninty thing, doesnt really give this any credibility. Last i checked it was PS3 then 360 and Wii. Not hating on Wii, I use Netflix on Wii myself

12,000 is actually a rather large sample size, even if it didn't give the most accurate data. Next time you see a commercial for a beauty product, like face cream or whatever, where they say that x percentage of women chose this product as being the best, read the small print and be amazed as they're basing it on a sample of about 80 people.

Not big enough.

You don't know much about statistics do you? A sample size of 12,000 is huge for a population the size of the US. Most political polling uses only 1000 as the sample size. That gives you a margin of error of about plus or minus 3% at a 95% confidence level. A sample size of 12,000 gives you a margin of error of only plus or minus 0.9% at a 95% confidence level. With a sample this large we can use a confidence level of 99% and the margin of error is still only plus or minus 1.2%.

There still might be problems with the survey, but sample size is not one of them.

correct me if I'm wrong but don't they have the advertising rights to netflix streaming or something? There was a huge ad campaign last year for it (don't watch much tv nowadays so don't know if its still there)

You say this like I think political pollings use good sampe sizes. I don't.

Unless Netflix themselves give numbers i find the info just plain unreliable. 12000 out of probably over 10M is nothing.
