Apple TV Surpases iPad in Netflix Viewing Hours

Posted January 27, 2011 at 2:51am by iClarified
Netflix has revealed in its earnings release that viewing hours on the Apple TV have now passed viewing hours on the iPad.

The devices with large installed bases – meaning Windows and Mac laptops, Sony PS3, Microsoft Xbox, and Nintendo Wii – are the most popular devices for watching instantly from Netflix. AppleTV has done very well for us, and in just four months has passed the also-growing iPad in Netflix viewing hours. The Roku player remains a strong performer. Our iPhone and Windows phone applications are very popular, and we’ll have support for several Android phones this year. While Google TV has not yet gone mainstream, the concept of Android and Chrome built into televisions and Blu-ray players is powerful; we’re confident that they will be very successful, and we are investing in our Google TV application. Blu-ray players and TVs with Internet connectivity are the big growth categories for us, as more and more providers are building in Wi-Fi across their product lines.

While its clear that viewing on a television is preferred to the small iPad screen, Apple has sold over 15 million iPads compared to a little more than 1 million Apple TVs.
