One of our favorite analysts, Wedbush Morgan Securities’ own Michael Pachter is shoveling coal into the Netflix / Xbox 360 partnership rumor train, speculating that their partnership is real and a deal has already been signed.
Pachter speculates that Netflix has already partnered with Microsoft to offer motion picture rentals through the Xbox 360 based on comments made by Netflix’s management during their current analyst event. During the conference, Netflix management mentioned interest in “internet-enabled video game consoles” which Pachter believes is not only a hint that Microsoft and Netflix will partner, but that it’s actually a good move for both companies. “The competitive advantage of such an alliance is clear: Netflix customers who are Xbox Live members will have the capability to stream on the internet content through their Xbox 360s directly to their televisions” states Pachter. “The ability to do so is available without the Xbox 360, but requires a measure of technological sophistication and a high tolerance for failure.” Can you say IN-TER-EST-ING?
