<p>Netflix is on, just about, every modern day device known to man; save for the microwave, house phone and cars (for now). Surprisingly, despite all of the devices the service is on, the PlayStation 3 appears to be the #1 thing people use Netflix on (I&#8217;m one of them!). Imagine that.</p>
<p>This news comes from the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/12/04/ps3-is-1-for-netflix-streaming-in-the-living-room/">PlayStation Blog</a>, who reached out to Netflix&#8217;s CEO Reed Hastings, who was nice enough to shed a little more light on the situation:</p>
<p><em>“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 number one platform overall. 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.”</em></p>
<p>The last point he made is the primary reason for why I, personally, use Netflix on the PS3, as opposed to the Xbox 360; I don&#8217;t need an Xbox Live Gold account to access it. Still, taking the Xbox 360 out of the running, who would&#8217;ve thought that the PS3 would overtake the PC and some of the other devices that also have Netflix? The PS3 is more popular than I thought.</p>
