Oh it's real, it's damn real. I made the screenshot myself, I can vouch for it's authenticity.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Those are legitimate methods of increasing views. Tags increase the ability for someone to find videos, not views.

That's not improper, that's ingenious. Or it would've been if tags weren't visible

Actually the tags aren't visible ever since the new Youtube redesign. :D 
So there's no way for people to prove this is real anymore.

FAKE!

I'm calling fake too. You need to  right click, view page source and scroll down till you see key words. After a quick Google search by typing in the first paragraph in this screen shot brings up this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5BLgycbUog. By using the method I described you come up with these tags.  PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, PS3, Sly Cooper, Fat Princess, Killzone, Nathan Drake, Big Daddy, Kratos, Twisted Metal, LittleBigPlanet, Ratch. Plus if you think about it, why would the only tags be about super smash bro and not one tag about the game it's self. So yes it's fake and damn fake at that. 



Before you guys continue your "investigations" whether it's fake or not (hint, it's not) you should probably look at the date. Also,

I can spin this.

Sony is only doing this for the good of their fanbase. It's just like advertising, giving Sony more exposure.
More people know means more customers that will find more people sharing what they like.
It's win-win. Sony should be praised.



It's not fake guys, we had a thread about in vgc, they tagged smash bros, nothing is wrong with that though, this is THE PROPER way to get views. Fans just blew out of proportion because you know.... that's they roll.
