After the Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus launches, Wall Street analysts sketch out how the market will judge success for streaming services

But success in streaming video is going to look very different in 2020 and beyond than it did when Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu first dominated the landscape, analysts at Cowen wrote in a note on November 20.

"Those media companies unable to successfully address those issues may have to seek a partner or get squeezed out of the ecosystem entirely," Cowen wrote.
