It's a shame ps4 had less view them Justin baby and lady i don't know what and Gangnam stupidity

but the trailer isn't very old and could get many more views. and don't forget that many fans watch the same music video some hundred times, a big ps fan will watch that video maybe 5 times or so.

A big fan might do that but I think over an extended period of time. I dont think the commercial was THAT great. I think it reached a lot of people as someone said before about 20-22 million people seems more accurate.

You also have to take into consideration the people returning to the video to read/reply to comments, etc. Hell, I've probably "watched" the video 5+ times myself, and I am by no means a Playstation fan.


well that's what you get for being lazy, deal with it.

I don't quite follow.

If you returned to comment but didn't hit stop on the video that's your own fault. A video only counts as a view if it's watched all the way through...or didn't you know that?



Youtube hits is a pretty irrelivent stat to use to judge how well a product will actually do, especially when you consider that you can BUY hits on youtube..

Anyway, I just don't see the PS4 as a console targetted at the mass market, at least not until a few years when the price goes down (similar to what happened to the PS3 around 2009). Sure the hardcore will eat it up, but they are actually a pretty small piece of the overall market. I think a lot of people will view the graphics  of current consoles as "good enough," and as far as the games, I've seen nothing revolutionary, just the same type of games you'd see on the PS3 with prettier graphics. The whole streaming and social media push Sony seems to be using will add some interest but I don't see that alone as a selling point. The biggest question is not the graphics, or even the price, but the games. What are the major titles that are going to push boatloads of PS4s? There will undoubtably be some, but you have to remember that most will also be found on MS's next console, which will probably be cheaper, and has sort of taken Sony's place as the definitive third party machine.



The song is just so beautiful...it touches my soul and fills it full of hope, for a brighter tomorrow...So many adventures await next gen and I will take them on and save the world once more!!

That's what this trailer says to me o_o

youtube actually filters out sites that they know are business related, in fact, they will call out views that were generated from a paid source.

Thanks for trying. Stop downplaying the number one video of February.

It does!? All this time I thought I was giving a view every time I clicked on a video. This means I account for all of 1 view. I feel better about myself, now; I have not contributed to the elevation of the Playstation Kingdom in this.

I should feel worse, but, well, what can I say? That was one of the most awesome videogame console trailers of all time, and Sony did an excellent job getting it around, so I say it deserves its views.
