Who Thought the Share Button Would Be Big

How many times have you been playing a game on your console and you do something unbelievable and there is no one there to see it. There is no one there to recognize your skills or see your incredible fluke. With Sony’s share button on the PS4 controller all that has gone away. There has been over 800K videos of broadcast gameplay since the PS4 launched last month and over 20 million minutes of live streamed gameplay.  All this is according to VG 24/7. In the past it uses to be a pain in the butt to upload quality video’s to YouTube. Not many people wanted to spend the money for equipment, mics, video editors and etc. to post videos online. Yet we all felt like we had a little +LevelCapGaming  (a YouTube users who posts awesome gameplay videos online) in us. The share button has enable us to share our skills with tutorials, and how to’s, as well as boast about how good we are. I don’t know how many times I’ve yelled at my TV screen “Did You Just Not See That” and then thought oh right, there is no one here. I think even Sony is surprised that the Share button success, with Sony's Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida expressing how the share button “surpassed his wildest of expectations”. I've been thinking this for a while but  the “power to the gamers” slogan should really go to Sony PS4 campaign since it really has been empowering there gamers to share more and explore more, and to play more.
