Netflix CEO: Chances Of Nintendo Wii Support Are “Excellent”

By Ian Mikutel / Saturday, 09 January 2010

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says the chances of launching their streaming services on the Nintendo Wii are "excellent" and "should work out over time" when asked about it during an on stage interview with Peter Kafka of All Things D during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today.

Although not an official confirmation, this news comes after comments to Reuters in September where Hastings stated, "Eventually we want to be on all the game consoles, all the Blu-ray players, all the Internet TVs. So we are working in parallel with all of those efforts."

 

Questions still remain, however, on the exact details of Netflix service coming to Wii. Kafka chose to use "Nintendo" rather than specifically mentioning "Wii" during his interview with Hastings, which still leaves some to believe the company could be waiting to launch its service on Nintendo's next-gen console.
