Where Amazon has the edge is that they have their own appstore, their own media services, their own gaming studio, and a loyal customer base.
They already have an XBL/PSN style gaming community on the FIRE, too.

Their box is likely going to be an STB first and a gaming box second but if they do go for it they'll hit the ground running with a few million upfront sales.
