That seems to be the problem... "Commercial reasons".
And a "couple of months" will be too late for a lot of users. Especially when you can't tell them for "commercial reasons". By then, you'll be forgotten by most.
When is Netflix coming? Not in a couple of months.
/devils advocate
Not sure what you think "commercial reasons" means here? Most of these platforms are controlled by the brand in question, so any launch has to be agreed and signed off before it can happen. There's a fair amount of legal and commercial agreements that need concluding before that and any announcement would naturally be coordinated between us and the device partner. Nothing sinister about that.
Longer term, any successful service needs great content and to be available on the devices that consumers want to watch it and that's what we're going after. This goes whether or not other services are in the market (and many consumers will probably subscribe to more than one or dip in and out).
As I said, I was playing devils advocate.
I don't think it's sinister, but by not saying anything because of those reasons, you're potentially putting off a lot of customers.
If you could say "we're in talks with LG, panasonic, xbox, sony, etc" people might think "awesome, it looks like we might have a chance" as opposed to "they're not saying anything, so I'll just get netflix".
People will subscribe to a few, but probably only after they ditch sky, due to costs.
I live in Oz and when presto launched, they didn't support my devices, but stan did. Guess what I use? I can't be bothered checking presto every few weeks to see what they've added. Same with quickflix and their quality... I'm never going to bother.
/currently watching netflix. :D
