the only scenario you can really argue for free advertisement is small indie games.
Horse shit. Let's plays drive sales phenomenally for indie titles, but they definitely drive sales for AAA titles too. Watch video 3 I posted, It mentioned pretty much everything itt.
LP's probably make a bit of a difference, but it's more than likely a drop from the faucet. These companies already have advertising campaigns for everything that follows the vision they're setting out for whatever they're releasing, and they most definitely do not need LP's to spread word of mouth. Not to mention all of the insane online advertising these companies do now. I also said that LP's do help indie titles. The fact of the matter is that these mega companies don't need the big LP'ers like PewDiePie, nor do they need the small ones to spread word of their games. They do that just fine themselves and in Nintendo's case, you'd be hard pressed to find somebody who doesn't at least know of their IPs.
