Netflix teases movie streaming service to Wii, PS3?
They wouldn’t say which hardware their service will be coming to, but it sure did wonders for their stocks. Netflix just sent out word Friday that they will be offering their movie streaming service soon through a device “owned by a large number of consumers.”

Now, speculations are running high as to what device this is, setting their sights on either the Wii or the PS3. It wouldn’t be surprising considering how their inclusion in the array of Xbox Live services on the Xbox 360 added in some 2.4 million subscribers to Netflix’s account since September of 2008. This also comes in the heels of Netflix’s CEO back in September, saying that they would want to bring movie streaming to the PS3 and Wii “eventually.”
Whichever console this may be – if it is indeed for a console (it may be Zune or iPod for all we know), it is posited to pull in some 900,000 to 1.2 million new customers just for this fourth quarter alone.
Netflix is also said to be looking at bringing their service to foreign territories come next year. We’ll keep you posted on this. For now, we’re tagging it as rumor, and Netflix is enjoying the high rally of their stocks (as high as US$ 57.50 before settling in at US$ 54,16 in afternoon trading).
