Squil, where did you get those numbers? Could there be a correlation between the number of videos on the site for a particular game and the amount of hype?

Game trailers viewing numbers - like the view count on youtube etc.

For example, Army of Two was a very average reviewed game yet it sold over two million and it had a lot of game trailer hype.

This gamasutra article about marketing was my inspiration.

 



Tease.

Whats wrong with my title? :/

 

 

I figured some folks would come in and say something about the biggest games going to pc.

Bah, they can create their own thread in the PC section if they want.

This is the Captain of the Enterprise. Our respect for other life games requires that we give you this... warning. One critical item of information that has never been incorporated into the specifications of any Microsoft Xbox. Since the early years of gaming, Microsoft consoles have had incorporated into them a substance known as... corbomite. It is a material and a device which prevents attack on us. If any exclusive game is compared to our console, a game of equal strength is created, destroying -DESTROYING the attacker. It may interest you to know that since the initial use of corbomite more than two of our generations ago, no attacking console has survived the attempt. Death has... little meaning to us. If it has none to you then attack us now. We grow annoyed at your foolishness.

 



Tease.

Nothing compared to Madskillz...



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials 

 

Conservatives:  Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.

Madskillz was dropped from the team after he stopped using the hot chick for his avatar.
