I think Netflix has a better chance in winning on this. Games, like movies, have a skewness in their distribution-of-popularity. Some movies get too much popular, more than 1000x of an average movie. Similar distribution holds for games.

Netflix is excellent at spotting popular movies early-on (Compare Netflix with other streaming content creators). So I hope they can use the same way of making decisions in spotting and building good games.
