Well how much people realistically stream directly from their consoles, or rather how many people that actually get viewers (big streamer) use the ps4/xboxone streaming apps.
quite a lot actually, hell i've seen plenty of ppl on Twitch who use the PS4 streaming app and have a sub button.
Sub button is 3-500 viewers and a few thousand followers iirc (or something close to that). So that doesnt mean they are big streamers. I would be surprised if any of the people streaming from those apps were part of the biggest streamers that bring in most of the people for twitch.
And theres also Esports, but those dont care about a ps4 streaming app to youtube which is another discussion anyway.
e: Theres also the question if people think they can make more money on youtube compared to twitch and want to start over at all now

YouTube streaming has proven to me it's a good option, the improvements will make the difference, but in my experience in the past they've had the worst commenting system/organization/delay of any group.
I think it's good to have options, and I think streaming is still coming into its own and won't be fully 'established' until a few years from now, it's seen a lot of growth in the last year but the tail result, and developments are to be seen.
Hitbox has risen in popularity more in the last couple months, but it's a slow process. However, I like that they've been actively adding features and optimizing it and fixing technical things as the months have gone by, and that there's more added every month.

Twitch has a lot of Russian and East-European streamers as well. I actually like them a lot since they stream cool games like Lineage II, Perfect World, UFO: Enemy Unknown and other old-school games. It's just a shame I can't understand them.
Too bad Youtube streaming is not available here due to reasons (though, it was like 3 years ago when I actually watched Broodwar there...). Makes no sense.
