Right. Which was why I was surprised that it wasn't higher up the list. Could be because the views have been spread thinner thanks to the multiple videos/trailers they have up though.

Unless I'm missing something, doesn't it have the 2nd most collective views of anything on that list?
Oop. Yeah, you're right. Was looking at the first chart in the OP and not the updated one.

I think we can never really tell because viewbots and votebots have been throwing off any data.

I think you should at least put an asterisk next to any video where Mathchief is a primary contributor.
Days Gone is another one that people were baffled by and, to no one's surprise, Mathchief has the top viewed upload for that.

The Days Gone gameplay trailer from last year has over 7M views. A few are "baffled" because they are out of sync with market realities.

To no one's surprise because Sony is downright incompetent at social media management the last 6 months. Mathchief got Sony's E3 trailers sooner than anyone and had millions of views on them before Sony got out theirs.
I'm trying to be relatively fair here. The reality is that the data does not suggest any major abnormality in the trending data of Mathchief's trailers. The broad logic of bought views/ads, etc also apply to various other channels like the Monster Hunter or Xbox One X trailers, which are clearly benefiting from ad-runs, etc.
Below are the data, just looking at Mathchief trailers I have:

Fuck. I wonder how much money he made off of those uploads, if any?
Thanks, your marvelous!
Definitely. Walking Dead averaged 15 million viewers this season and this game looks to be Walking Dead Daryl. This game can make a killing with the right marketing

Damn, spidey is killing it!
I always wonder why we do this. Why do we proudly proclaim that a product will sell like gangbusters? We don't get any money from it.

But we do get more games from it.
Game would have looked quite good to me if I wasn't a bit tired of those stealth mechanics, which are quite similar to Horizon's and probably other open world games I don't know about.
But that's me not being a huge fan of the genre. In a year, when the game launches I won't be as tired.
If the game truly is based around emergent gameplay, I'll be there. It's a mechanic I really like in games.

Yep, the game announcement this E3 that garnered the biggest reaction was probably Metroid Prime 4. The reason why it took so long for a new Metroid to be announced is because the series doesn't sell well. If it did then it'd be on a more traditional development cycle like the rest of Nintendo's core franchises.

Days Gone has gained 200k since your last update and Spiderman 2.4 million. Seems legit. Spiderman was definitely outpacing Days Gone by 12 to 1 up til now..

Last year, the God of War reveal gameplay, along with Battlefield 1 E3 trailer, was outpacing every other trailer by around 8-1, even though all of them hit the 3-4 million mark at around the same time.
This year, unquestionably Spidey and Mario will outpace every other trailer by a fair margin.
So yes, the biggest trailer with the largest 'word-of-mouth', so to speak, does end up outpacing every other trailer by a huge margin once other trailers hit their "peak" views.

Because it's nice to see incoming success for a developer you like.
Because people are excited for the game and are happy to see that this excitement is widespread?
What a weird thing to get upset about.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Monster Hunter World is at 5.4m views from Monster Hunter + 2.4m from Capcom + 1.4m from McKIceAndFire totaling about 9.2m views.
I think this is the most viewed Monster Hunter trailer/video ever.

Yeah but unfortunately it's not organic virality, but rather ad runs like Xbox One X trailer. It's not even a mix like Ubisoft titles where you have some advertisement and some word of mouth but it's mainly being pushed due to ads.

It's still good as the 1.4M views channel likely doesn't do that.
Yeah, I'm mainly talking about a huge chunk of the views from the Monster Hunter channel, not the IGN, MKIceAndFire or MathChief uploads.

Update as of 22nd June 2017:
Changes:
- included 4 channel links respectively for Ace Combat 7 and Ori 2
- a separate individual links table for those who wants to see a non-aggregated view count
Once again, credit goes to trigger & benny for their great help on this matter. I wouldn't be able to do a 1/5th of these without the significant quality of life and script wizardry.

Here's the table with the secondary view with individual links by channel.
On a different note, I've spoken with benny_a that I'm going to ramp this down since there's not much more interesting insights to gather from this in the short term, other than seeing which trailers are aggressively doing ad-inflation, like Monster Hunter and XB1X.
Maybe there'll be one more update within a week, but after that we'll only revisit this a few months later to see which trailer this year is the equivalent of last year's GoW trailer, which had LONG legs.

Well, at least Capcom is heavily marketing the game. : p

Ask benny_a for this. All I'm doing is doing pivots and excel by taking advantage of people doing the great work.
If Sony plays it right with marketing and limited edition consoles/bundles. It could be huge.
I'm using Hylang as I'm not a fan of the Python syntax but wanted to try to get familiar with at least one language that has Python interop as Python is super popular and has many useful libraries.
It's just querying the Youtube REST API.
Nice! I share your feelings on Python syntax, but I love pip and how easy it is to find a library that'll do anything you'd ever want.
Hy <> Python reminds me on Kotlin and Java. If you use Java, I'd recommend looking at Kotlin as it also can be transpiled into JS.
I'm presuming you used the Google api client pip package in Hy? Never even knew Google provided these!

If you look at the view/like ratio, it stands at 0.12% for the main MHW trailer, which stands for heavily ad-run inflated.
They are views that are being watched, but they aren't organic growth where people are actively searching for the trailer and watching them on their own volition, but are being served as advertisements instead.
In general, one can be skeptical of anything with a V/L ratio below 0.5%.
I thought the BGE2 trailer would have a lot of more views, at least a million or so. Kind of sad to see such an excellent and well-crafted trailer be on the number 80.
EDIT: Wait, it actually has 838K views on Ubisoft's channel, not the 650k as listed in the table, plus 325K on another channel.

I don't really get the appeal of Spider Man (in a gaming sense). The license still seems to be huge. I'm surprised!
