I think in the long run, it would Netflix vs Amazon Prime. The prime channels is a very unique way to keep users in a single app and access the content from other networks.
I synced my HBO to Prime, so I don't have to switch apps. They already have content from Showtime, HBO, Starz, if they could get disney on board. You will basically end up using Netflix vs Prime apps.(or Hulu).
- threeseed 8y agoI think there will be two other players for sure: Apple has ridiculous amounts of money to play with and they will instantly jump to tens of millions of subscribers when they bundle it with Apple Music and Apple Magazines. Disney simply has too much incredible content to be ignored. Pixar, Marvel and everything from Fox. At the very least it will dominate as the preferred choice for families. Also just saw then that Disney which owns 60% of Hulu are interested in buying the rest of the company. If they did I imagine they would shut it down and fold it into Disney+ as well.

- wmeredith 8y agoI already pay for my HBO and Hulu subs through iTunes. Makes it easy to mange.
- sfcguyus 8y agoAmazon has some of the poorest content out there at the moment and quite a good distribution system. There's only a handful of great shows they make, at least so far. Contrast that to Disney which is aces on content, and a wildcard on distribution. It's more likely than not to be a bigger competitor than Prime.
- foxyv 8y agoAmazon is where I get a lot of the content I can't get anywhere else on a subscription basis. Their Prime content is meh, but their paid library is NICE.
