A total of 21 percent of U.S. broadband households with at least one Internet-connected CE device use a streaming-media player as their primary platform for streaming online video, up from the year-ago 12 percent, Parks said. In contrast, streaming-video usage declined for connected gaming consoles, and it increased modestly for smart TVs, the research company said. Game consoles, nonetheless, are still used more than streaming-media players to stream video, Parks said.
In the first quarter of 2015, 97.6 million households had broadband Internet access, and 65.8 percent of them, or 64 million, connected at least one CE device to the Internet. Of those 64 million households, 21 percent mostly use a streaming-media player to stream content from the Internet, Parks said.
