You try to use reading as an attack yet your replies indicate you're guilty of just that. YT wasn't dismissed as I said I can see the potential I just don't buy that as an excuse for the LPs you've been championing and don't see it anywhere near on par with traditional marketing, that's your first reading error your second is in claiming someone said Nintendo knows what's up in marketing, well no such thing was said highlighting an agenda on your end to just throw out an attack or bait thinking it'll gain you any ground. Revenue doesn't make a company bigger unless you're saying that Nintendo during the Wii years were bigger then both Sony and MS combined.

I highlighted the issue with YT personalities in a few factors, 30m subs doesn't mean 30m views btw which is why I refer to it as potential, another factor not touched upon is that these personalities aren't trying to sell the game at all but themselves. It's much like Brokers at any institute, they're not selling you the product but more so themselves, because that's what brings in the views, many people viewing may not even care about the games being played at all this is before we then factor in how many people may have multiple channels subcribed to the same person more for convenience and so on the are just a number of overlapping factors. It's not blowing it out of proportion it's just highlighting factors, what is blown out of proportion is how you're practically making it out like views equal sales.

The potential is there but I don't think it's even close to being harnested.
