You're just showing that people have watched youtube videos about video games. I'm asking if it's exists, to show that people watch youtube vids and let's plays in order to see the story of a game without having to buy or rent the game.

So all 300k views for MGS: Twin Snakes, a game that sold 470k, are from people who played/own the game? Obviously a certain percentage of said views are from people who don't own the game. Especially since that is only one youtube video. 

As an example, let's say that you never played the original Halo on the xbox but you watched someone play the entire game in a Let's play video, would you say that you played the game or that you experienced the game fully? It's not the same as a movie.

Doesn't matter if they didn't own the game. I wonder how many bought the game after seeing the vid. How many didn't because of the vid.  How many of those only saw 2 mins of it and then left the page because of boredom or disinterest. They don't have to watch the entire vid in order for it to be considered a "view". No one stole the experience of playing it.
