Sony
Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) and Netflix, Inc. NFLX,
today announced that the PlayStation®3 (PS3®) computer entertainment system is
now the primary development platform for Netflix and is the world's most
popular device for viewing movies and TV shows from Netflix on a television.
"PS3 is our largest TV-connected platform in terms of Netflix viewing, and
this year, at times, even surpassed the PC in hours of Netflix enjoyment to
become our No. 1 platform overall," said Netflix Chief Executive Officer Reed
Hastings. "PS3 is a natural fit for Netflix in terms of developing and first
deploying our most advanced features. We can transparently update our
application with new features on a daily basis, and through the free
PlayStation Network, people around the world can sign up for Netflix directly
from their PS3."
"The PlayStation and Netflix communities both share a strong passion for high
quality entertainment," said Jack Tretton, CEO and President of SCEA. "Netflix
provides a fantastic experience for watching TV shows and movies on PS3, and
our joint development will continue to produce innovations for our customers
that further demonstrate PS3 as the true home for entertainment in the living
room."
