Playstation and XBOX Trailer stats on youtube post E3
- Thread starter OG_Thrills
- Start date
I'm one of them. I still have no fucking clue what I'm seeing. lol
Damn at Gears, knew the series popularity declined heavily from the 360 days but going by the lack of youtube views and even on this board with its E3 trailer thread buried deep in the recesses of ERA with hardly any activity going on it seems the series have completely cratered. I'm sure haters mad that their "dude bro" shooter now stars a female as the lead isn't doing it any favors either...
I don't think it really brought anyone new in or anyone done after 3 tied it up nice enough, back.
So a fine, harmless entry, but didn't really do much to make anyone who didn't care, suddenly change their mind.
Yeah. This is first full UK/EU day where people can catch up.
Nah, no one has said that.
Halo is still one of the most popular franchises in the industry, but its popularity is clearly decreasing, that's all.

I made this thread yesterday if you're interested in numbers updated in real time.
Gears needs a better cast first and foremost. Coletrain, Fenix, Dom and Baird had more charisma in their left hand than the current troop has in their entire body.
Yeah, TLoU2 was at 3.3 million views on the Playstation channel when last I checked.

Give me a few minutes.
Gears' numbers really shouldn't be too surprising. The franchise is in decline. Gears 4 was a well-produced and polished product but didn't bring anything new to the table while taking a step back from 3 with respect to enemy design and characterization. Of all the great things MS is doing lately, milking Gears to the tune of three new games strikes me as a big mistake, as is attempting to imbue 5 with a tone of serious drama. If TC wanted to make a dramatically engaging, cinematic TPS, they were better off doing Shangheist or the like.
Instant classic. This is the ERA heir apparent to GAF's I'm an expert in Japanese culture. Can't wait to see this riffed on.
Then again, this seems a little too absurd to be genuine, in which case I applaud you for brilliantly towing the line between delusion and sarcasm.

Each company has an odd difference in conference mentality and when it comes to Nintendo and Sony I think it's time people start looking at their treehouses for new footage and new games.
Microsoft laid everything on the table upfront, which includes games that may or may not be canceled in the future(remember all those first party games they announced a few E3s prior and nearly canceled them all except crackdown?). They take unsafe bets in order to be bombastic in delivery.
Nintendo decided to focus mainly on 2018 games and continue the dripfeed, which makes them seem like they have little to offer in quantity but on the flip side this shows how much quality each of their games have and they give them breathing room.
Sony is doing the thing they did last year which I still question, they are revealing games and new gameplay on their treehouse-esque stream instead of utilizing their conference to the maximum like microsoft. They are also still making their conference about the audience at the convention center instead of the audience at home watching. They treat e3 like Comic con in a way. On one hand, this makes it so that they are giving you plenty of gameplay but on the other hand it makes their lineup look more sparse than it actually is. They are also spreading themselves super thin with their own conference in Paris, then Tokyo, then ps event during winter.
Bethesda made the odd choice of giving teasers of games possibly 5-10 years away. A very square enix-esque move which they normally never do. I assume they just did it to appease the Skyrim whiners.
Square enix gave everyone else the good footage and left themselves with barely anything of their own. At least Keith David was a cool plus.
Ubisoft unfortunately had their games leaked so everything they had lacked impact. Also, off screen footage of BGE 2 was a huge negative.
PC gaming conference finally had one of the best pacings they could possibly have, but still have issues getting the big surprise AAA announcements and footage, as they had more indie games to show than the others. The best thing they did was not focus on hardware too much this time around.
No one solely won this e3 but they all did a great job showing up.

Yea but failed to meet magic created by first 3 games. It was too similar and safe sequel that people liked but didn't love.

This is a spicy hot take! It's almost as if MS with all their money has tried for three generations to make Xbox a global brand, and outside of North America and the UK they've not had much success.
I find it odd people are surprised the PS trailers have higher numbers given its double install base.
Well to be fair, at this point, Gears Judgement was already out and the 360 was winding down anyway (it'd be June 2013 atp), so I'm not sure that comparison means much.
Still, I have no trouble finding matches so I guess things are going well enough for the game.
I'm actually surprised there are still new players around. I jumped in a gears match for the first time in years last week and destroyed everyone. Felt kind of bad for them lol
For people asking for updated numbers, they're updated live here and take into account multiple channels that have posted the trailer instead of just one:

Here's the current Top 5:
1. 6,863,530 views Cyberpunk 2077
2. 5,872,044 views The Elder Scrolls VI
3. 5,449,445 views The Last of Us Part II
4. 5,034,988 views Halo Infinite
5. 4,968,273 views Devil May Cry 5
The reversal between Sony and Microsoft exclusives popularity this gen has been pretty big:

The reversal between Sony and Microsoft exclusives popularity this gen has been pretty big:
Sony's games were better than anything MS had. Sony was already telling us it wouldn't be a traditional show. MS put up a bunch of 3rd party games, with no gameplay for their exclusives, the a more traditional format for e3. This years E3 wont change anything as far as games go. The Last of Us part 2 is the most viewed game out in the time frame it came out
Look at posts others have put in this thread with sales stats for this gen. I have no inclination to copy paste that data again. It is true.
Youtube stats mean nothing. All the Downvotes Infinite Warfare got and it still outsold Battlefield 1. I don't get how youtube is a platform full of trolls unit it crates some numbers to support my point of view.
Is this 2002? Back then, I was eager to believe that. 16 years later, not so much.
It took Sony 20 years to cultivate their WWS to what it is today. MS isn't going to do that in a span of 4-5 years.
You don't need to own a console to play a video on YouTube. There will be a significant number of people watching the trailers to help determine if it's worth picking up a system for.
Halo 5 came out in 2015, 3 years before GOW3 on a console that sold half as many unit compare to PS4. I mean come on?
To be fair, the Death Stranding views are just the same 100k people watching it over and over to try and work out WTF they're looking at.
Franchise fatigue , their heavy hitters are Halo , Gears and Forza once again.
Really?
They bought a studio with one game of experience, they are making a new studio which obviously means it has no experience as a studio, and a studio with 2 games as experience and you are already saying that they will win and beat studios like ND, Guerrilla, SP, Bend, Japan Studio and the others who have in some cases more than 15 years of experience and multiple games and franchises.
M8, your conclusion is terrible.
Do you need to be a console owner to see a trailer now?
Judgement happened and 4 did nothing to break with it (see GOW Ascension-GOW PS4).
God of wars popularity was decreasing as well.
The thing is GOWps4 was amazing and considered a must own... The reviews really helped sell it.
Halo hasnt had agame like that since halo 3
Could 343 make a game like that? Well they havent yet...but sony santa monica improved so maybe they can too?
i play Gears weekly but I'm just not interested in the SP campaigns of these games at all. when the MP footage gets posted I'll watch. I would be very ok with MS launching a standalone MP suite for this IP.
Halo 3 outsold Halo 5 on a smaller installbase. The installbase wasn't the limiting factor.
I think that sounds awful. Gears mo is already low on playersthis would sell even less games.
Unless they madeit ftp then you could enjoy even more microtransactions.
Reviews and word of mouth matters
None of these stipulations have anything to do with one or the other being bigger though. They both got dealt their hand and this is how they played.
As well as customer satisfaction in regards to your previous products. I.E Halo 4 & Halo MCC
