Watching Movies on Game Consoles
Filed in archive Statistics by martino on July 02, 2007

Research by The Diffusion Group, however, indicates that movie watching through a game console may not be resonating with the public. In fact, only a minority does so, and even fewer have ventured online to purchase or rent a digital movie download
.Here are the numbers: of the households with game consoles in America, 80% have one capable of some form of DVD playback or online download. And of these, only 13% have used it to watch a movie. That is some eight million households. Among those, nearly three quarters have only used the DVD for movie viewing, while only a quarter have downloaded one to their games console over the internet. However, among those that own a game console connected to the internet, 42% said they have used it to watch a movie from the internet on their television.
This research is based on a survey of 2,000 broadband homes in the United States and is based on responses from the head of household.
