Perhaps 
realizing that a strip show and impromptu call-in program were just the tip of the iceberg, Twitch has decided to no longer allow PlayStation 4 owners to stream videos from the built-in game, The Playroom.
The innocuous free game that comes installed with every PlayStation 4 has been a haven for inappropriate content on the live streaming site in the early days of the console. Twitch decided to cut its losses quickly.
It’s 
as unavoidable as cat gifs: Put a microphone in front of a large group of people and someone’s going to spew obscenities. Put a camera in front of that group and someone’s gonna strip.
But if you do so on your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, be ready to face the consequences.
Will 
EA’s NBA woes ever end?
After keeping its NBA Live franchise on the bench for the last four years, the publisher managed to release a new iteration in the once-proud franchise in 2013 — but pretty much everyone hated it.
NBA Live 14 currently has a Metacritic score of just 46. User scores are a dismal 2.5 out of 10. And now, EA has a message to its fans: It’s sorry.
The 
PlayStation 4 isn’t the only new console with some early hardware bugs to work out.
Microsoft has acknowledged that some of the initial Xbox One units have an issue with the Blu-ray drive rendering it unable to read discs.
While 
there’s bound to be plenty of debate about the quality of the Xbox One launch lineup, no one can dispute that the pipeline is jam-packed with exciting games.
Microsoft hasn’t exactly been shy about touting the exclusives that are coming to its new system – and that’s on top of a slew of multi-platform third-party games like Watch Dogs that are looming. The problem, though, is not all of these big titles are imminent. Some won’t be out for a year or so. Others could be even further out. Still, each is worthy of your attention.
There’s 
a whole lot to take in with the Xbox One. The system is rich with features – tied to gaming, movies and TV, and staying in touch with friends. Even the most thorough reviews have to leave a few things out, though.
But some of those little details are pretty fascinating and give insight into what the system can and can’t do. Here are a few things you might not know about Microsoft’s latest console.
While 
we’d all like to get our favorite gamer an Xbox One or PlayStation 4 this holiday season, the laws of supply and demand – not to mention simple economics – make that impossible. That doesn’t mean you’re stuck searching for a game he or she may or may not already own, though.
The video game culture extends far beyond games. There are loads of accessories and extras that will make you a holiday hero. Here are a few alternate suggestions worthy of your consideration…
Once 
you get your Xbox One – you are getting one, aren’t you?! – it’s time to start loading up on games that will showcase it in the best light.
Just as the PlayStation 4 has games that shine on that system, Microsoft’s new console has some doozies of its own – many of which aren’t available anywhere else. And with Microsoft’s increased focus on a wide audience, there’s something available for just about every gamer.
The 
launch of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ushered in more than the era of high-definition gaming: it also introduced us to the $60 video game.
For many gamers, it was a hard pill to swallow – and while people managed to choke it down, they warily looked ahead, fearful that next generation systems would bring another price bump with them.
Technically, they didn’t. $60 is still the going price for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One games. But emboldened by the success of in-app purchases in the mobile world, some publishers are trying to convince players to pay more in a different sort of way.
While 
the launch of the PlayStation 4 has been an inarguable success, Sony hasn’t had a lot of time to pop open the champagne. Instead, the company has found itself on the defensive as the Internet has been filled with tales of PS4 hardware failures.
Sony points out that fewer than than one percent of the units sold are defective – but when that works out to as many as 10,000 consoles, it’s still a PR nightmare.
