Forums - Gaming - Poll: Will The Xbox One Trailer Go Viral, Too?

 

Will the Xbox One Trailer Go Viral?

Yes. It will definitely ... 9 18.00%
 
Yes. But, it won't be n... 9 18.00%
 
No. Slow and steady for this vid. 32 64.00%

As many of you know, for ~1 1/2 weeks after Sony released their PS4 trailer, it went viral.  For the first few days, the views totaled only ~3M.  Then on the 3rd or 4th day, the vid just exploded.  Within hours the view count jumped to ~10M views.  By the end of February, it had amassed ~24M views.  And by March 4th, it reached 26.3M views, taking the top spot in Youtube's Most Watched Ads for February.  Which was no easy feat, as February is mostly dominated with Super Bowl Ads and it was the same month that Samsung debuted its Next Big Thing Ad (the vid was posted two weeks prior to the PS4 ad.)  This was also the month that the Harlem Shake took Youtube by storm and Pepsi debuted an ad with their take on the meme.  The craze has died down, as the PS4 ad now sits at ~28.7M views today.

So the question is this: Will MS enjoy the same viral viewing for the next week or so that Sony did?  Their Xbox One unveil video now sits at 2.2M views.  Do you believe it will eventually explode in views?  Or do you think it will just be a slow and steady rise?  And, finally, do you think the Xbox One vid can top the PS4's 28.7M views?

On a side note, it does appear that those on Youtube are reacting more negatively towards the Xbox One, when compared to the response to the PS4. The PS4 has over 28M views, yet only just over 3,000 dislikes. The Xbox One has just over 2m views, but already has over 6,000 dislikes. Make of that what you will.



Can you post those videos so I can watch them? Despite all those views, none of them have been mine.

Meh, I think M$ can go without 6000 sales. The contest will be an interesting one for sure... Good idea. Well, I'm going to vote for the Xone. It seems to be getting more attention from the media, good or bad. Not to mention Xbox seems like a swear word on these forums ATM!! LOL!!

Yea, but that's with only 2.2M views.  You have to think about what the dislikes will look like after 28M views.

@ Shadowfest

Sure.  Give me a sec and I'll post them.

You're right. I think I'll refer to it as the X**x from now on.

I'm aware. 6000 or 2,200,000? Hmm.... Still pretty insignificant.

 

@F0X.

Lol, I wonder if it would actually catch on?

Doubt it.

OMFG, did anyone notice that when this Xbox video reaches the "live TV" part it shows the exact same bulletproof vest as this?

Edit: Sorry dude, had to post it.



Seems like so far, slow and steady (though not too slow ) has it. Any guesses of where it will end up?
