Yes it means nothing. The most popular streamers are multi game streamers. People tune in to see them play games. It doesn't matter which game it is. So it might give the game some publicity and it might not. That's why it means shit. They will play the game for a few days and then move on. Every single high profile game goes through the same cycle. Only very few are actually popular enough to stick.

MHW and any other freshly released game does not get high views because people are actively searching for it or want to tune it, it's because multiple streamers pick up the same game at the same time because it's the latest hot thing. The majority of the people watching won't even consider buying it. The only publicity going around is for the streamers and not the game.

I disagree. The game will clearly get a boost in sales from all the publicity. Especially if its good. 91 meta critic. It definitely has a chance. 

The review score will boost it 10 times more than all stream views combined. Streams only make an impact on small games and not gigantic AAA ventures. Stop treating MH as if it was a tiny indie niche game.
