Disney+ coming to PS4 [UP: Only PS4 confirmed so far; image with Switch and Xbox One depicted platforms they "want to be on"]
- Thread starter Ehoavash
- Start date
Vice president of technology at Hulu and Factor 5 President Julian Eggebrecht said during an episode of NVC that Nintendo told them they wanted to focus on games only at launch, without marketing the system as set-top box also (as the Wii U was).
But after that they were able to release their app on Switch, which means Netflix wouldn't have any problem now.
I like how the title change added in an update, as if we learned this information after the thread was posted, and wasn't available from the start. Could have had the thread squared away if that info was read and posted competently from the start.
You don't get it
Disney is saying they are putting it on switch. Of course Netflix will want to counter it...
Now I'm actually expecting Netflix to release their app first
They said they WANT to be on the switch, not that they ARE putting in the switch.
Disney are saying that they are hoping to put it there but only PS4 is confirmed.
Right. So now Netflix knows. That's actually why I expect the Netflix app to release first on switch. Gotta beat Disney to the punch
Possibly. So the Netflix app should be releasing soon on switch (finally)
That was when you needed Xbox Live Gold to watch Netflix on Xbox 360
Lol I love how the title went from "Coming to Switch!" to " No, actually on all platforms!" to "Uh, no, just PS4".
But it's good to know it'll be there eventually.

Eh, people sometimes accidentally miss things in their excitement, I don't blame the OP.
Hopefully, among others.
This argument that Netflix is on everything else holds no water for me whatsoever. I want YouTube, Plex, Netflix, Sky, WWE and everything else on my Switch as well. Different devices come in so useful on different occasions.
It's call premature thread creation and it's a real issue that many people suffer.
Yeah I don't get the Netflix thing...No Twitch app either which I'd love as well.
Even if it's not confirmed for Switch and Xbox One yet, they've still got seven-ish months between now and the rollout. Certainly enough time to make it happen if they want it to happen by Day 1.
Exclusive video streaming service? What the fuck?
Hopefully a misunderstanding. That's just dumb.

Pokemon and yokai watch currently air on Disney XD
That being said, pretty sure it's just strictly Disney owned stuff.
They announced the first 30 seasons of the Simpsons is gonna be on it so yeah.
The exclusive content seems even less interesting than what Apple showed which was also not very interesting. Monsters at Work is the only thing I want to see really.
I'm glad they are already looking to support consoles. PS4 still missing some that Xbox has like FXNOW.

Nintendo should release their 3DS Anime channel on Switch. Would love to see Pokémon, Yo-Kai Watch, Professor Layton, Ace Attorney, Snack World, the old Nintendo cartoons, etc., as part of the content. Having shows premiere alongside game releases would be awesome.

"As we mentioned earlier, Disney+ will have a wide device footprint. We focus on making our services available not just in all households, but across every connected screen in each household," explained Michael Paull, president of Disney Streaming Services.
"Right now, we are securing distribution for Disney+ across mobile devices and connected TV devices, including game consoles, streaming media players, and smart TVs.
"With these device partnerships, not only do we optimize our product for consumer experience, we ensure that our service will be prominently featured and merchandised on our partner platforms.
"We have already secured such deals with Roku TV and PlayStation 4, and we are confident that by the time that we launch we will have a full array of device platform partnerships in place."

Hulu and YouTube found their way onto the Switch, so I'm sure Disney can work things out with Nintendo. Xbox is basically a lock. I'm surprised that they aren't able to confirm Xbox support yet.
Why would you watch Netflix on the Switch in the first place? Your phone's battery life lasts longer, as does your tablet.
If anything I'm more annoyed that Xbox One is not seemingly confirmed for launch day.

Because the Switch's screen is larger than any smartphone out there and because the Switch interacts easily and readily with your tv, unlike your phone.
Seriously, Netflix on a phone is and should be your last option.
