Amazon's Fire TV is doing much better than its phone


This week Amazon announced it would take a $170 million hit due to the struggling Fire Phone, but there's no sign of issues with the Fire TV. Amazon isn't sharing any sales numbers so all we know for sure is that its selection of apps and games has grown to over 600, more than triple the number available at launch. NBA 2K15 is coming soon, but for now the apps and games used most include Amazon Instant Video (of course), Netflix, Hulu Plus, Asphalt 8: Airborne and Minecraft: Pocket Edition. When we reviewed the Fire TV in April it came off as a powerful platform with some initial rough edges -- now that it has a better selection of original apps and exclusive content with shows like Transparent, it may be in a position to stand out from the crowd (Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast).

Recent additions to the library include Spotify, PBS, and NFL Now, and for viewers, it just launched season two of the original series Alpha House.Fire TV </a>Featured Stories Nokia Lumia 735 review: more than just a selfie phone Microsoft is doing great, and so are Surface Pro 3 and Office 365 B&O Play made a portable Bluetooth speaker, no, we're not kidding Pivotal Living hopes you'll pay $12 a year to use its fitness tracker iMac with Retina display review: A best-in-class screen makes it worth the high price The iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 review Notti smart light does notifications and wake-up calls with style

Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template.

To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
