Jizz_Beard_thePirate I only read the first part. Look they have every right but they will continue to decline in popularity while pc, xbox and playstation games thrive. It's their loss and the loss of nintendo fans who would enjoy a massive increase in youtubers playing their favourite games. |
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.

How did they weaken the sales of Asscreed Unity if it sold more than Black Flag on the respective platform while being a broken/unplayable game with updates that broke it even more? The game is broken and youtubers like TB made a video as to why he wasn't even going to play it yet a broken game managed to outsell its previous itteration on the same platform? So yea, no... Youtubers influence on expensive games aren't very significant at all

it's quite simple. if the game was very well received by youtubers instead of them shitting on it, then the sales would have been even higher.
