It hasn't gone viral, it's just advertised a whole lot. Pretty much any time I load a video on youtube it shows up as an ad. Nothing wrong with advertising your product, but there is a bit of a difference.

It definitely helps that it's being advertised..but unless you click the commercial to load the video seperately it doesn't count as a view. At least that's what I read over at gaf a while back

You are correct:

The embedded (forced) ads JWeinCom refers to do not count as a view. Only the videos that get willingly clicked count. So if there is an ad in any website, one must click it to watch it and have it counted as a view in youtube. In orther words it is a very successful ad campaign. Sony was right to fire the previous marketing agency.

Excellent! Thanks for the confirmation :D
