Amazon Has Bizarrely Banned The Apple TV And Chromecast From Its Website

February 09, 2015

Barbara Kraus, an analyst at Parks Associates spoke to Bloomberg Business about the decision warning that while bold, this could come back to bite Amazon.

"This has the potential to hurt Amazon as much as it does Apple and Google, 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."

The streaming market is huge, indeed Parks Associates estimates that there will be over 86 million streaming sticks and boxes by 2019.
