The PlayStation Network news comes amid multiple reports (via Fudzilla and the BusinessofVideo.com) that Nintendo and Netflix have already hammered out a deal to bring streaming movies to the Wii; the theory is that the companies will wait until the release of the HD Wii in 2010 to announce. Meanwhile, in a research note tied to the PS3/Netflix news, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter forecasted that Netflix movies will be available on the Wii within “the next 12 months.” New console deals are a boon for Netflix, which has seen a huge uptick in its streaming business as a result of its first partnership with Microsoft’s Xbox 360.
