Game Consoles Most Popular Way for Viewers to Access Online Video
While tech sites (such as this one) give a lot of attention to set-top boxes, game consoles are still the most common way for viewers to stream online video to the living room. According to the latest version of 聚光灯下的 State of Online Video Report, over 43 percent of those surveyed used either a Microsoft Xbox or Sony PS4 to stream video, with the Xbox the more popular option. Over 41 percent used a best-selling set-top box or stick (a Roku device, 苹果电视, Google Chromecast, or Amazon Fire TV stick), and over 30 percent used a connected TV. Over 28 percent of those surveyed didn't use any of the given options.
Compared with responses given in 聚光灯下的 April 2015 survey, the percentage of people using set-top devices rose significantly and the percentage using consoles rose by a few points.
