Movie streaming service Netflix has confirmed this week that is has no plans to offer a service for Sony's PS3 or Nintendo's Wii, staying exclusive to Microsoft's Xbox 360.

Well, for now at least.

In a statement made toGamesIndustry.biz, Netflix vice president of corporate communications Steve Swasey told them: "For now, Netflix streaming on game consoles is exclusively on the Xbox 360 - and it's a terrific hit."

Though at the same time Swasey adds that "Netflix is always looking for ways to grow the service."

Gaming specialist wanted

Add this to the fact that Netflix posted a job vacancy this week for an "engineering leader - gaming platforms" and you can understand why those persistent rumours that Netflix was PS3 and Wii bound kicked off again this week.

The company wants somebody with "years of experience both building and leading the development of games on the current generation gaming consoles," who can "expect to help build a small technology team to rapidly prototype and iterate on a variety of platforms."

To date, Netflix on Xbox 360 has been used by 1 million users that have watched over 1.5 billion minutes of video since the service launched last November.

Thanks Techradar!

Well this one just keeps on popping up doesn't it!   1.5 Billion is alot of minutes!

Cool, i wish they would get some of the newer movies in instant watch though, still, ton of good classics to watch on netflix.

it's only a matter of time before it goes to the ps3, but it sounds like nintendo doesn't want anything to do with it.

Does it really matter if it stays exclusive? I don't think it sells more consoles even if it's a hit.

Wii's missing out, but if I can get BR for my PS3, I don't need netflix. Plus, my connection isn't exactly fast.

So, each user watched 1.5 million minutes of video on average?

Or am I missing something?

(1,500,000,000,000)/(1,000,000) = 1,500,000 ?

I'd like to know how you came to the statement "Netflix not going to PS3 or Wii, staying XBOX exclusive!"

from

"For now, Netflix streaming on game consoles is exclusively on the Xbox 360 - and it's a terrific hit."

and

"Netflix is always looking for ways to grow the service."
