Amazon made a bold move earlier this month when it removed devices from its marketplace that don’t work with Prime Video.
What that really meant was saying goodbye to Apple TV and Google Chromecast — two devices that compete against Amazon’s media streaming services and its Amazon Fire TV. At the time, some analysts questioned the move, saying it could hurt Amazon as much as it hurt the other companies.
“This has the potential to hurt Amazon as much as it does Apple and Google,” Barbara Kraus, an analyst at Parks Associates, told Bloomberg. “As a retailer, I want to give people a reason to come to me. When I take out best-selling brands, I take away those reasons.”
