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.

Youtube only exists since 2005, so it doesn't really matter how long of a history they span really. Playstation sells more than Nintendo consoles (and Nintendo consoles aren't called Nintendo), so it's normal that it gets more hits. But Nintendo still beats most companies on youtube with videos related to them.

And no, it's far from useless.

Wii has over 10 million videos on youtube. Saying Nintendo consoles are failing to sell because they have no presence on youtube is quite ignorant (not saying you said that though).

Even if Youtube hasn't been a thing before 2005 that still doesn't mean that people can't make videos about things older than that, there are tons of nostalgia videos or playthroughs, speedruns etc. of old games on Youtube, it doesn't tell us much about how many people are talking about the current side of things.
