Amazon to stop selling Apple TV and Google's Chromecast on its marketplace

According to an August report by research firm Parks Associates, 86% of all media-streaming products sold to US households with broadband in 2014 consisted of Amazon, Apple, Google and Roku's devices and it is estimated that around 86 million media-streaming devices will be sold globally in 2019. "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," said Barbara Kraus, an analyst at Parks Associates.
