Social media is not a good indicator.

The Playstation Allstars Battle Royal teaser trailer got 4 million views......Nuff said

I don't understand why people don't understand the difference between the two.... Nuff said


So.....What is the difference?

A teaser of something secretive that people watch trying to figure out what it is not hype first of all. Its doing its job by attracting curiosity but when people realized what it was for they couldn't care less. People weren't interested in the game. They were interested in what the teaser could be about. Also, youtube isn't really social media like twitter or facebook. Twitter and facebook has more of a connection with friends than youtube. When friends are discussing it with each other is a lot different than some random person watching some random video and posting some random comment so some random people may or may not see it from the rest of the spam

The differences are glaringly obvious

mmmmm, I wouldn't exactly say glaringly obvious, but I'll bite.  Yes there is a difference, yes it has more discussions, however it has been proven time and time again that having hype on teh interwebs doesn't really translate into sales.  The 3DS was huge when it first launched and EVERYONE was talking about it, same for the Vita.  However the sales only came when they were at the price and had the games people were looking for.  Its just that internet hype is a very strange thing to get your hopes up for.
