That's slightly more views than every single video PewDiePie puts out. Pretty irrelevant, really.

"That's slightly more views than what the most subscribed person on YouTube gets on each video. Pretty irrelevant, actually."

Makes total sense.

Except that his front page video has 7 million views. PewDiePie's front page video has 55 million views and no one is talking about that. No one cares about a 4.5 million view video anymore.

It's like you're pretending that Youtube still exists in 2008 where viral videos that grab attention aren't in the tens/hundreds of millions of views.

This once again shows how Nintendo needs to pull their heads out of their Asses because I bet you that at least half a million people (probably more) had no clue super Mario maker was a thing and now they have interest in possibly buying it!

You do realize Nintendo was the one that gave him an early copy, right?

Go to their youtube channel, there's currently a Super Mario Maker challenge going on between Jirard the completionist, Ijustine, Matt from the game theorists, strawburry17 and Geek & Sundry.


I'm talking about the whole copyright issue they have going on. The Wii U would be in much better shape if it had more publicity from not only YouTube but from other methods of marketing like proper comercials that appear on more than Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. So many kids watch lets players these days and if they don't even have a chance at seeing what games has to offer, then how will they know to buy it?

19th most subscribed youtube channel, 2nd in spanish is a nobody. Gotcha.

By the way nice texas sharpshooter attempt with the front page video views. Using the most significant number (amount of subscribers, 13M vs PewDiePie's 39M) to draw a comparison? Nah. What matters is front page video views.

And god forbid someone brings to the table that a channel in spanish has a handicap against an english one due to less people knowing the language.

 

Geez, I'd never imagine I'll be defending elrubius...

Never said or implied that he was a nobody. Although this demonstrates that you missed the fucking point of my post like everyone else who responded to it.

Not even close to a Texas Sharpshooter fallacy because you, like everyone else missed the point. I'm talking about the video compared to other videos he and other major youtubers make, not making some comparison between their subscriber count. If my goal were to downplay the channel's relevance, I wouldn't have compared it to the goddamn largest single channel on youtube. What matters is whether this video is something out of the ordinary, not whether he's an important person. But nice random nonsequitur.

Since we're talking about a video, any video he's made that exceeds that viewcount, yet no one calls out as important demonstrates my point. But since you're so intent on logic-chopping every single point, go to his channel, click videos, and watch your point refuted. He has dozens of videos which far surpass 4.5 million views, which isn't surprising at all considering that he has 13 million subscribers. Him making a video that reaches that many views isn't important because he and several other youtubers do it on a regular basis. If the video reached, say, 25 million, that would be worth calling out. 4.5 million is nothing. Hence my original point.

Also, the fact that he's popular and speaks spanish actually helps his view-to-subscriber ratio because less people are competing against him in the Spanish market. He'll have a harder time growing his channel than English channels because there are less Spanish-speaking youtubers than English ones, but what subscribers he does have will watch his videos more than English channels on average because there are less Spanish alternatives to choose from. That said, the point about language is irrelevant because it has nothing to do with what I was saying. Cool. A guy who is geared toward a smaller market made a video which pulls in an unsurprising number of views while playing Super Mario Maker. Stop the presses...

I thought that people were blowing the impact of this video out of proportion as some sort of mandate toward Nintendo, so I decided to say something. Clearly you're all on a witchhunt to attack anything you remotely interpret as Nintendoom, so I'll try to remember to never post in a Nintendo topic again to avoid ruining your echo-chamber.
