'Tis the Season for a Roku–Amazon Showdown

When it comes to market share, no other streaming platforms are close to Roku and Fire TV. Roku has the lead right now: 37% of streamers opt for Roku devices, compared to 28% for Fire TV. Other streaming devices and platforms are comparatively weak players: Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Chromecast, for instance, has just half as large a market share as Fire TV and has been losing ground, per Parks Associates' 2018 findings.
