I really hate the "pre-season" BS, because that implies Jan-Oct don't count. Newflash for people who talk about the pre-season, Jan-Oct DO count. If they didn't Xbox One would be handily winning in the US.
Mock it all you want but as trends go popular on twitch generally means popular with the general public.
You can't use a snapshot (because all it takes is one super popular twitch streamer to stream a game and it will shoot way way up), but trends over time twitch isn't that different from general game popularity.
It's meaningful that Destiny and GTAV are regularly way up on the popularity list on twitch after all this time, and it's meaningful when a new game doesn't do anything special on twitch.
Wow so now we have got twitch as our gauge for a games popularity. All this from 2 days of sales data. I hope it does well in the long run
