<p>E-commerce giant Amazon will not only not sell the Apple TV and Google Chromecast, but it has banned its marketplace sellers from offering those devices for sale, too</p><p>As first reported in this
Bloomberg story, Amazon sent its marketplace partners an email justifying the ban because it claims those devices don’t do a good job of supporting Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service, and that the company is concerned its Prime customers will become confused as to why its services don’t work well on those devices.</p><p>We reached out to Amazon about this, and a spokesperson responded with a similar statement: “Over the last three years, Prime Video has become an important part of Prime. It’s important that the streaming media players we sell interact well with Prime Video in order to avoid customer confusion. Roku, Xbox, PlayStation and Fire TV are excellent choices.”</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2988560/home-players/amazon-wont-sell-apple-tv-and-chromecast-hardware-bans-marketplace-partners-from-selling-them-too.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
