Amazon is a very unique buisness model. $9.6B is a hefty number for package fulfillment. Who knows how long that can last. Walmart has made a huge chess move by saving a ton of money by taking advantage of their almost ubiquitous locations. In a world where free shipping is now the norm, no other company can match those kind of logistics. I think that is a factor that would prevent Prime from beating purple/brown's package volume. Then again with the Prime Air cheerleader group only starting in 2016 and Walmart still climbing to be on top again, it is still too early to tell.
