The New Apple TV Could Face Stiff Competition From Amazon's Next Product

If you exclude smart TVs and traditional video game consoles, the market for dedicated streaming devices in the U.S. is dominated by just four companies: Roku, Google, Amazon, and Apple.

According to a report from Parks Associates released last month, Roku's devices were the most popular in 2014, accounting for about 34% of the units sold last year. Google, with its low-cost Chromecast, came in second. Amazon came in third, and Apple with its aging, third-generation Apple TV, came in fourth place.
