Video taking off 9.3x its usual first day

An Xbox One S dressed for Minecraft, switched on by RetroGamingDays

The short does what its title promises, and the small comment section has a question about which startup screen should appear.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 39,406 views a day, 9.3 times a normal first day on this channel (4,251).

"Xbox One S Minecraft Limited Edition Startup" is exactly what it says: a special-edition console being switched on. It went up on RetroGamingDays, a channel whose about text is nothing but controller buttons, the PlayStation shapes beside the Xbox letters. That sums up the format. Consoles come out of their boxes, games load, startup screens play.

This one went further than the rest. In its first 18 hours it drew close to 35,000 views, while a new short here usually ends its whole first day near 4,000. Likes arrived about three times faster than usual.

The console has its own history. Microsoft released the Minecraft edition of the One S in 2017, three years after buying Mojang, the Swedish studio behind the game, and dressed the hardware in the game's blocky look.

The short went up on a crowded day. The same upload run included a Nintendo Switch 2 unboxing, The Sims 4 on Xbox One and RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures Deluxe on Switch, and a PS4 20th Anniversary unboxing followed the next morning. None of them comes close to the Minecraft console so far.

The comment section is small but specific. One viewer says the console looks really cool in its Minecraft style. Another asks how the channel got the old startup screen, because their own console showed the new logo, and that question has drawn a few replies. Someone else wants the person behind RetroGamingDays to finally let viewers hear their voice.
