Apple, Hollywood Honchos Put Heads Together

The Apple TV came in fourth, behind Amazon's Fire TV, Google's second-place Chromecast and Roku's pack-leading set-top devices, in Parks Associates' tally of streaming device sales in 2014. Amazon and Netflix have displayed some weaknesses, though.

Amazon has been focusing on disrupting the status quo in fashion similar to Apple's ecosystem- building strategy, according to Pund-IT's King, but in some cases, those bets have blown up in the company's face.

"Netflix has been a true disruptor, especially of conventional cable services, and has also done well with original programming," he pointed out, "which means the company will be squarely in Apple's crosshairs should rumors be true."
