How could you even remember what the view count was 8 moths ago?

Because I remember being surprised at the view count and how badly it sold.

Starhawk' official trailer has 1.3 million views on youtube, I wonder how much it sold...

A Trailer that was uploaded one and a half years ago, the latest infamous trailer is nearly 1.9m in just a week

It's also got more views then the latest uncharted trailer.

The view count was the same as the last time I watched it 8 months ago, but whatever. That is still a million people who watched the trailer and didn't buy the game. Most Gran Turismo videos barely crack a million views and those games go on to sell 10m copies. All I'm saying is Youtube video view counts is not a trusted source to tell how much a game is gonna sell.

Edit - Oh, it gained more views than a teaser of a teaser that doesn't show anything othar than a map? ZOMG!!

I'm talking about hype here, not sales..

oh boy

Whats your definition of hype?

Something the public is interested in? Nearly 2m views in a week is hype, no matter what spin you put on it.

My definition of hype is a bit different

I look at is as how something is being anticipated and how people talk about something

The only games that i can remember that had hype "through the roof" were PlayStation AllStars Battle Royale and maybe Killzone 2 atleast on the PS side

I guess we see hype a bit different

Did you forget uncharted 2 and 3? and Playstation all stars never was hyped, What little hype it had went away after that terrible e3 showing.
