Twenty percent of all Twitch streamers were broadcasting from PlayStation 4 systems between December 23 to January 1, Twitch announced today.
Streaming support for both Twitch and Ustream are natively built into the system via its "Share" button. Twitch announced on Dec. 10 that 10 percent of its streamers were PS4 owners (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/442167/ps4-users-account-for-10-per-cent-of-all-twitch-streaming/), meaning the proportion doubled in less than a month.

"We envision a day when broadcasting your gameplay is a ubiquitous piece of the gaming experience. We're well on our way."
The surging popularity of PS4 streaming was marked by a significant number of bans given for explicit non-gaming related material, includinga man who stripped an unconscious woman on stream (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/439944/twitch-issues-ps4-ban-warnings-after-unconscious-woman-is-stripped/). Twitch laterremoved PS4 Playroom streams (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/440269/twitch-pulls-ps4-playroom-streams-from-listings/) from its listings entirely.
Sony announced Tuesday that more than 4.2 million PS4 systems were sold in 2013 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/444184/ps4-sales-topped-42-million-in-2013-sony-claims/), while it estimated 9.7 million units of software (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/444227/ps4-software-sales-passed-97m-in-2013-ps-plus-subs-almost-double/) were sold for the console.
