The Fire TV Cube will be an interesting test for full-blown streaming boxes, which have fallen out of favor as most consumers opt for cheaper streaming dongles that can fit behind a television.

The NPD Group found that Roku’s average selling price was less than $50, suggesting that most customers also opt for the company’s cheaper streaming sticks. Even if you need 4K HDR video support, you only have to pay $70 for Amazon’s Fire TV Pendant, Roku’s Streaming Stick+, or Google’s Chromecast Ultra.
