Honestly, I highly doubt that youtube affects the outcome of games that much... Look at Bayonetta 2 vs Asscreed Unity as an example. Many youtubers recommended Bayonetta 2 but it sold terribly where as virtually all youtubers said Asscreed Unity is a terrible game yet it sold 5+ million... Edit: I am not saying Bayonetta 2 should sell as much as Asscreed but the sales of that game is just aweful vs the sales of a broken game is veryyyy high |
You're comparing a niche game on the worst selling next gen hardware to a massive selling franchise on the biggest platforms. But yes youtuber had a massive effect. If the game was good and universally approved those youtubers would have gained it way more sales. Instead they weakened it's sales and deservedly so. Most ninty exclusives are good so that's not a problem nintendo would have dealt with a lot up to this point.
But the bottom line is youtubers affect sales of games they like big or small. And if they play a big game and have legit reasons to hate it, the sales will be damaged.
