I understand what you're saying, watching someone play video games and review it, is not the same as playing the video game. Therefore Nintendo did not lose anything, in fact they gain a potential customer if they like what they saw from the video.

What if somebody only wants to experience the story of a game, and therefore will not purchase the game they would otherwise purchase because they can watch it online? Does that not hurt the developer/publisher, who created said content and did not receive money? The cutscenes took people's time and efforts just as much as the gameplay. People were paid to produce said story, cutscenes, music, etc. 


Video game requires human interaction. Story driven games is an exception, but when you're showing gameplay, most of the time people will ask about the game because they want to buy it.
