Survey says: Roku is the most popular streaming device

Roku beat out Apple TV, Google’s Chromecast, and Amazon Fire TV in the rapidly expanding media streaming market. Today, of the US households that have at least one consumer electronics device, more than 20% use a streaming device to watch TV, movies and other entertainment content, the survey said. That’s up from 12% last year.“Roku devices are now the third most widely used connected CE device, trailing only Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation as the most common platforms to access online video content on a TV set,” said Barbara Kraus, Director of Research at Parks Associates.
