Roku represents 34 percent of units sold. Google and its Chromecast were responsible for 23 percent sales. Amazon's Fire TV was the third choice, while Apple came in fourth.

In 2013, the Apple TV was the third most popular streaming media device. However in 2014, it fell behind the recently introduced Fire TV and Fire TV Stick.
