A PSP-2000, a Halo Xbox and a 360 in a car: RetroGamingDays switches on
Fifteen uploads went up over the week, most of them nothing more than a console's startup screen, and the channel added about two million views.

Story of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Xbox One S Minecraft Limited Edition Startup
Fifteen uploads in seven days, and most of them do one simple thing: press the power button and let the boot screen play. RetroGamingDays has built a whole channel on that moment, and this week the shelf went from a Sony PSP-2000 to an original Xbox in its Halo Special Edition shell.
The Minecraft-themed Xbox One S, covered here two days ago, is still the week's most watched upload at around 76,000 views. Its comments split between people admiring the blocky styling and one viewer asking how the old startup screen appeared, since their own console shows the newer logo. Others are still hoping the channel's host will speak on camera one day.
The newer arrivals are moving faster now. The PSP-2000, the slimmer and lighter second model of Sony's handheld, and the Halo Xbox are each gathering views at a quicker daily clip than the Minecraft console. "Xbox 360 Startup in a Car" takes the idea somewhere odd, while two unboxings, a PS4 20th Anniversary edition and a Nintendo Switch 2, drew smaller crowds than the boot screens.
The channel as a whole ran a little above its usual daily pace, with roughly a thousand new subscribers. Among the gaming channels near its size, only VortroxTwo added more views over the week; Dude Perfect Gaming, ChilledChaosGAME and NintendoCapriSun had a quieter stretch.
