> As NBCUniversal prepares to launch its own streaming service..

adding to the discussion on fragemting further the streaming landscape (Disney, NBCUniversal as new playes in the Porter's 5 forces).

I wonder what will come out of this chess game. Are the consumers expected to have 3-4-5 different subscriptions?

Anyone has any thoughts on that the end-game may be? (Apart from selling to one-another for a few $bn profit)

there's no way the average user can be expected to have so many different subscriptions, it's truly ridiculous.

i have, crunchyroll, and netflix.

I've got Prime Video, I dropped Netflix because of the nightmarish autoplay when you hover over anything even for a second. I'd rather pirate than tolerate that.

The market can't support so many different players though.

People have always wanted à la carte cable channel choice instead of the typical bundles. This is what it looks like.
