Couple uses PlayStation 4 to stream … a call-in talk show on Twitch? Yes — and 200K tuned in

A young couple from Washington became the stars of streaming site Twitch.tv last night as they broadcast an impromptu call-in show live from their PlayStation 4 video game console.

When Sony Computer Entertainment announced live game streaming for its latest home console, it probably wasn’t expecting to spawn a talk show. Gamers are a creative bunch, however, and this ingenious couple started a livestream, known as The Spartan Show, using the augmented reality pack-in title PlayRoom and its cute robotic companion, Asobi (the couple renamed it Asobi-Won Kenobi).
