I hope your not trying to imply that hype and sales are the same thing, if so

Then i'm done LOL

I'm loling at you. You wrote in the OP that inFAMOUS SS will be the best selling in the series based on the hype on Youtube.

Then you say hype doesn't mean sales. LOL

He also did say based on what information we have so far, that video views is one of the very few indicators that people have to see if a game is of interest.

If only a few tens of thousands had viewed it, then i would be concerned.

What other indicators can we use?

1. Friends/family - just local evidence - not particular useful, but you can gauge interest by how many of your friends are buying a game day 1.

2. Pre-orders/Charts - amazon or vgchartz, but neither are accurate.

3. How much interest there is when a bit of news is released (i.e how many posts/tweets).

So as you can see, not really that easy to gauge... *BUT* if he feels that the game will sell more than any other Infamous because of Youtube views, I guess he can... he may be right or wrong, we just don't know. Maybe compare the views to any previous Infamous titles on Youtube would be a good idea?
