Okay, I read the article and decided I half-agree with what he said.

Nonetheless, it's PewDiePie and he should never be taken seriously. So, I give Nintendo a +1 because of this.


Pewdiepie's views on Youtube dance circles around Nintendo multiple times. Seriously. Piediepie has Thirty-four million people subscribed to his channel. Nintendo hasn't even broken a million yet. Thats more people than Nintendo have owning their consoles by multiples. Really? He can'tbe taken seriously? LOL wow, bro.


I would like to point out that your point is very weak here, because number of subscribers mean very little. 

pewdiepie may have over 30m subscribers, but his videos average way less than 30m views each.  They average less than 10m each.  Many of his videos are under 5m in the view mark, and those are generally his more recent videos as well.  The majority of his videos with the most amount of views are from 1 year ago or longer. 

Also, the Playstation youtube account only has 1/10th the amount of subscribers pewdiepie has.  How much does that mean, given that Sony is pretty much leading this gen home console sales?  

What I'm saying is that pewdiepie's influence is not THAT big for companies like Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft.  He definitely could have an effect, but it's easily debateable on how much it really is.

edit: I should also point out here, to strengthen what I've been saying, is that the subscriber-to-viewer count for pewdiepie is worse than many others who have 3-5m subscribers.
