The report found tablets are the most popular mobile devices, with 18 percent
of consumers using them for viewing paid video content, while mobile phone usage
isn't far behind at 16 percent, a J.D. Power and Associates said.
Gaming consoles remain the overall leader when looking at all digital devices
for viewing video -- 6.3 hours per week, compared with 5.3 hours on a
laptop/desktop, 4.9 hours on a wireless phone, 4.5 hours on a music player and
4.4 hours on a tablet, the survey results indicate.
Still, gaming console viewing has yet to match traditional TV viewing, Frank
Perazzini, director of telecommunications at J.D. Power and Associates,
said.
"These findings illustrate that while customers appreciate the convenience
and value that gaming consoles provide, the TV screen is still a preferred
viewing media," he said.
