The article you posted was specifically on the connection between Pewdiepie and higher sales. Also I accomodated for the difference between consecutive years in my analysis. So the age of the game doesn't matter since we are comparing to the previous year. Nobody is arguing that youtube doesn't influence sales. The argument is that no single youtuber influences sales at a huge level, and the overwhelming majority of videos that influence sales are not let's plays. Minecraft and Flappy Bird would've been popular without youtube. I'm not downplaying anything. I'm combating the hyperbole and exaggeration found by some people. 

@first bold, no.  To quote my link "If you head over to YouTube and put in 'Skate 3', you'll find tonnes of comedy videos from prominent YouTubers playing Skate 3. And these videos have been watched by millions."  It was NOT about pediepie only.

@second bold - Evidence?  Flappy Bird was nothing before youtube and Minecraft only exploded after being featured on youtube so much.

1. One small sentence hidden within the article does not change the article's thesis. 

"How PewDiePie fired Skate 3 back into the charts"

2. Where is your evidence that the games were popular because of youtube? Correlation =/= causation.
