Lol why is riders republic so high. I just watched the video and it looks ok at best, IMO. I must be in the minority here, oh well.
It's in the top 7. Souls games aren't exactly mainline compare to some of those other games as far as headlines go. You would think differently though since they are brought up all the time here, but we aren't the norms.
Surprised that FF Chaos is so relatively low despite the memes.
And MHS2 deserves better than Capcom's shambolic marketing. Just dropping a brand new story trailer every few weeks really ain't it.

It wasn't big on 3DS more of a insider recommendation.
It also got shown a bunch of times during E3 during SummerGames, Capcom and Nintendos showcases. So data from a single trailer/video might not tell the whole story.
Over a million people watched the Nintendo Direct live on YT....so the number checking for the same trailers already showcased on there is probably gonna be lower.
If you compare the likes for Riders (1.9k) to Battlefield (475k) or BotW2 (225k) then you can see why, it's probably shown as ads lol.
Probably similar case with Starfield with 20k likes.
Also, the Nintendo Direct YouTube stream is at 5.8 million views.

Live users watching was also amazing to see, 1 million people at one point.

pre-Bethesda acquisition Xbox first party "shooters" consisted of halo and gears. 1 FPS and 2 TPS in 7 years. But yeah they have "lots"
It's weird since DS3 sold more than 10 million copies. I guess for certain genres the audience just isn't the YouTube viewing kind.
10 million is a very good number, but that's over the last 5 years. It's got a long tail. Funny enough I just bought it a couple months ago.
Stalker being so high is surprising. I hope it ends up cool, because Shadow of Chernobyl was great.
lol i remember when someone here told me that Elden Ring would eclipse Zelda but now it has surpassed it in views despite still being a teaser trailer, in less than 24 hours and with ER having a 5-day advantage, it even has almost double the amount of likes

You can bet that Battlefield will be one of the top-selling games of the year, perhaps #2 behind CoD.
If you want a scientifically proven analysis, then no.
But I've done enough analysis on YouTube metrics ( for my graduate thesis ) to say that high visibility and high engagement has a roll-over effect. Also, no game are the same in terms of how they're generating interest and awareness across YouTube.
For example - some trailers/games have an extremely heavy weight relative to the 'main YouTube video' - in other words, 95% of all views watch it from that source. There are however, games where they're very influencer driven, hundreds and thousands of views are spread out across two dozen influencers, accumulating to a high interest spread out.
Zelda trailers generally have good legs.
This isn't very useful because you're comparing trailers that released less than a day ago to ones that released last week. Plus many of these games have several trailers for different languages, whereas stuff like Battlefield only has one.
It's been less than a day, it'll easily hit 10+ million views in time.
I see everyone has had their fill of seemingly monthly monster hunter stories 2 trailers.
And I didn't even see how it actually played until treehouse!

Far Cry 6 had its reveal trailer almost year ago at 12 million views, and the gameplay reveal two weeks ago at one million views with 482k for the livestream. In fact the IGN upload of the gameplay reveal is at 2.4 million, so a lot of the initial views for the game came before the press conference.
BF 2042 also had its reveal before the main E3 shows and will clear 15 million in a day or two.
Doesn't tell us much considering some videos have been up for days and others less than 24 hours.
Riders Republic has barely any likes / Dislikes compared to their number of views.
Has it been on heavy ad rotation perhaps?
Otherwise it's the expected games in the top, outside of Halo I guess.. I thought it would be higher to be honest.

I wonder how many of those Zelda views come from YouTubers combing through the footage for secrets and hidden details they can spend the next six months theorising about XD
... Manually.
Check the YouTube video and include Views/Likes/Dislikes/No of Comments
I'm surprised Outer Worlds 2 is so high given the nature of what that trailer actually "shows", but clearly that first game did hit a lot of people the right way.
If you combine the views for example BOTW 2 on all Nintendos channels, you would cross the 4 million mark now
Another thing to add to this is that for a vast majority of games - views peak at the first trailer and decline subsequently. Gameplay reveal trailer and major story trailers can reverse the trend, but generally 2nd/3rd/4th trailers are always on a downward trend.
I never understood the appeal of battlefield. It always felt clunky to me, but that was bad in the BF2 days. I should probably give it another run through on the Series S
The data is from more than a year ago so 4 years but yeah it kept selling. It still sold a respectable 3 million in its first month though.
