PlayStation 4 has Twitch, over 20 video services

You can also listen to music while playing games.

Streaming gameplay via Twitch is not just limited to Xbox One - Sony has announced that the service will also be available on PlayStation 4, too.

Twitch on PlayStation 4 will allow you to stream from the PS4, with a separate app for viewing channels.

Over 20 video services will be available on PS4 and won't require a PlayStation Plus subscription - unlike Xbox Live Gold.

Other PlayStation 4 tidbits revealed during Sony's Gamescom 2013 press conference include the fact you will finally be able to listen to your own music while playing games.

The console's home PS button will also allow you to access a quick control bar, Sony exec Jim Ryan said.
