Amazon’s strategy in streaming television is beginning to take shape

[Amazon prime] is closing the gap, to an extent, on Netflix in TV shows, [Gene Munster,Piper Jaffray] says—and indeed, Amazon’s site features a “not on Netflix” list of TV shows. Every movie Amazon has is also available on Netflix, Munster says, but the same is only true of half of its TV shows. The e-commerce giant’s TV show catalog remains inferior to Netflix’s, but Amazon is going “in the right direction,” by focusing on TV rather than movies, he argues, particularly its own original shows. Netflix has been getting a lot of attention for its original shows, including House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, and it has at least ten more series debuting this year. – John McDuling, Quartz http://qz.com/230037
