Oh and btw. you also expertly ignored all the other examples I gave, what about Slenderman or Amnesia? Five Nights at Freddy? P.T? Do you think LoL/Dota 2s ridiculous popularity aren't helped by the fact that they are huge with streamers? What about Minecraft? Or Garry's Mod?

Those are digital only indie-like games... Nintendo makes retail games. They benefit more from traditional advertising.

When I type in Nintendo on youtube I find 7 million videos... Activision only 500k videos. Ubisoft 900k... And before you mention Sony keep in mind they're active in a wide array of sectors. So let's not act like no one makes Nintendo videos on youtube.

Call of Duty: 1.3M results

Super Mario: 3.4M results (just Mario gives you 23M results)

Even if that is true that still doesn't mean that Youtube marketing through Let's Plays can't be valuable to those titles as well.

Also then don't type Sony, type Playstation and you get (or I did at least) 11 million hits. Also Nintendo (in gaming) spans a history of over 30 years, Playstation over 20. So simply comparing numbers of Youtube videos without any sort of knowledge what these videos are actually about is pretty useless.
