Google's streaming stick gets second place honors in both number of devices shipped and actual in-home usage among media streamers, according to Parks. Chromecast has the advantage of being incredibly cheap ($35 or less), and it was the first to popularize the HTML adapter stick format. Perhaps more importantly, Google is reportedly now talking with content providers about bringing movies and TV shows to its $10-per-month subscription YouTube Red service. A streaming stick and a TV service? Sounds promising.
