And that's why Amazon, Google, Apple and the likes make it so hard to compete for sole hardware vendors. Samsung is doing surprisingly well, obviously because their net product is that big (since they are able to manufacture most of the components on their own).
But the rest of the manufacturers obviously struggle quite a bit. And I don't see Amazon disappear...
