During Sony’s E3 2011 press conference, SCEA president Jack Tretton said the PS3 accounted for 30% of Netflix streaming. A new report from Nielson begs to differ. According to the report, the PS3 is not the dominant Netflix streaming console. However, the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii combined bring in half of Netflix’s streaming audience.

A survey conducted in October by Nielsen has shown Apple as a dominant force in the eyes of children. The survey determined the purchase intent of popular electronic devices over the next six months. The most popular product was Apple’s iPad. A previous survey taken by Blackfriday.com also showed the iPad to be the top intended purchase on Black Friday.

I bet Sony is disappointed to see the PS3 come in fifth place. The original Xbox even beat the PlayStation 3…

The Nielson GamePlay Metrics studied aspects of the people’s gaming habits including games played, console or PC used, amount of time per day and time per session, to list only a few factors.
