Uh, Apple has the volume and pricing to make money off the hardware, on top of their content revenue. There is no reason to even dream of them of them *not* surviving.
Amazon has the largest volume of the alternatives but their pricing suggests their hardware revenue is minimal: their game is centered on content revenue.
The others, from Samsung on down are mostly hardware-only players and too low on volume to match Apple and make more than nominal profits. So if anybody is going to fold and go look for a different game, it's more likely to be the android players than Apple.
