TESO the biggest rival for ARR?

One thing that does seems strange. TESO trailer has 2+ million views in YouTube. While ARR only has 200k. Did Bethesda paid YouTube to make their trailer trend at the top of the search list? The ARR trailer is more exciting and have a sense of story behind, so it should have more viewers than 200k. It's this an indication of the level of expectations ppl have for ARR.

Bethesda has actively pushed this video into advertisements, to get the word out. I found out about the trailer by watching youtube videos and saw it pop up in youtube's commercial advertisments that you have to click past for viewing. I obviously didn't! lol Then I saw it pop up in G+, facebook etc. So they covered social media as well.

Square does have social media sites covered but they don't actively push the video out so people not interested in the game will discover it. I don't think Square is ready to do a media blitz yet. Where Bethesda is!
I think Squenix is being very careful not to garner to much attention until they have good solid information to show with gameplay, game info and etc. right now it's all subject to change. However it's more solid with Open Beta approaching more than it's ever been!

I think so too :P

Squenix.. lol. If at Stage 3 Beta and they are on schedule and they still haven't bumped up the hype.. then I think we should be bumping threads like crazy and rattling cages. But right now im 80% certain its all according to plan lol.
