Actually, the analysts usually low-ball a little bit.
Apple repeatedly sandbags its expected earnings -- by almost 16% on average. Analysts know this, so they typically predict a little above it, but still below the actual results.

They already have a service, via iTunes and AppleTV. You can rent movies or get a "season pass" on certain TV shows. AppleTV also includes Netflix and Hulu; adding more services would be (technically) easy.
