Like I mentioned before, some people are getting confused the same way you are. If you watched the GoW video then you've shown interest. Not matter why you watched it, you've shown interest. You're not "potentially interested", you're interested for whatever reason. I think you are trying to say that all views are from people interested in buying but that's not what OP said. They  just said interested in GoW and they would be right to say that.

"If I watched the video because I wanted to see what Sony announced at their press conference, does that suddenly make me interested in GoW? "

That's just a silly thing to say. The GoW reveal is specifically related to GoW. With the Sony conference we can only be sure that people who watched it were interested in the Sony conference in general. With the GoW reveal vid we can be sure that people watching it were interested in GoW. Not sure what's so difficult to grasp.

 

I don't want this to sound like I am saying you are wrong: far from it. I get what you saying. it makes sense the way you presented it.

What I am saying though is that interest in GoW and just general interest in what the video is, are not the same thing. There is no way to verify that every unique view comes out of being interested in GoW. That is what the OP says, interest in GoW. 

What is stopping me from just going to Sony's channel and watching on the vids they have uploaded from their conference? Just because I click on the GoW (or am automatically sent to the vid from auto play) doesn't mean I am doing so because I am interested in that game. I am doing so because I want to see what Sony showed off (interest in the conference in general).

Is that why the God of War reveal trailer on PlayStation channel has millions more views than anything else at E3 shown by Sony?  This just sounds plain ridiculous. You know the same thing could then be applied to every video on youtube?
