Netflix Hints at More Console Support
By Tom Ivan
Content streaming service Netflix, which is currently Xbox 360 console exclusive and only available in the States, could be on its way to other gaming platforms, according to a job posting on the company’s website.
The job advertisement is for an Engineering Leader—Gaming Platforms, and the successful candidate should “expect to help build a small technology team to rapidly prototype and iterate on a variety of platforms.”
The ad continues: “You have years of experience both building and leading the development of games on the current generation gaming consoles. You are familiar with several of those consoles, the technical hurdles associated with them, and the means of navigating those hurdles.”
The news follows recent reports suggesting Netflix had distributed surveys to consumers in a bid to gauge Wii and PS3 owners' interest in its movie and TV content offerings.
