FAQ
Q: What about trailers uploaded to multiple channels?
A: Every known upload is tracked and contributes to the trailer's rankings. Please post new videos in the comments to help get them tracked as soon as possible.
Q: Does this mean [insert game] won E3?
A: Of course not. Videos can run as youtube ads and other factors can easily affect the data. These numbers are presented as is and require additional analysis to fully represent the industry.
Q: Can I make my own graphs and analyses?
A: Please do! All of this tracking uses proprietary software but segments can be exported to Excel. Just contact me and I can set you up.
I discovered something cool while looking at pre e3 data and the charts now include a "Push" value. This number can be used to see which videos are being pushed by artificial traffic.
The formula is views*views/(likes+dislikes)*scale factor.
Lots of big trailers will get values up to 300 but heavily pushed trailers go into the thousands.
Wonder if Star Wars can hold its #1 spot. I expect Avengers project may well challenge it, or anything which gets mega boosted by ads.
I do think Avengers has a good chance of being #1-2, depending on how hype it looks
If it's just a CG trailer I doubt it
Cyberpunk has claimed the #1 game spot. Will be interesting to see if something with a lot of seperate videos can pass it, or if we'll need a behemoth trailer that passes Cyberpunk on its own.
Expect to see the BOTW sequel to shoot up the order. Probably going to be Avengers v Cyberpunk for #1
Anyone else think CDPR are approaching Rockstar levels of fame? Their name means a lot and its growing every day especially with this Keanu stuff and how big Cyberpunk has been last two E3s. Can't wait to see how much the game sells, gonna be huge.
What's with using the Gears 5 cutscene with 20,000 views instead of the GameSpot one with 200,000+ views?
