      The mobile gaming market is bigger than the console gaming market.

        While true. It doesn’t rival Xbox and ps on tvs. + if the phone is the controller, just play the games on your phone. No lag, no setup + it frees up the tv for more important things like…Xbox and ps /s

          Yes, I agree with you. But that doesn’t mean companies don’t see dollar signs when they look at the mobile gaming market and then find ways to apply that to their current position.

        And mobile games are doing so well on TVs that the Ouya is thriving and Minecraft is still on Fire TVs.

        …Wait.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Netflix is expanding its games streaming beta to the US, the company announced in an update to a blog post.

    The feature, which lets you play games streamed from the cloud on devices like your TV or a computer, launched first in August in Canada and the UK.

    In the blog post, Netflix notes that it’s a “limited” beta test, so it seems like this won’t be available to too many people to start.

    (Netflix used that same “limited” language with the initial launch in Canada and the UK.)

    If you have access to the service, you’ll need to download Netflix’s special controller app for your iPhone or Android device to play the game on your TV.

    The vast majority of its games are available on mobile devices, but the company has been vocal about its interest in expanding beyond iOS and Android.
