it will take a massive shift in "perception" - but yeah I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't happen at some time.

(I mean perception in the way people view youtube as the "after the fact" video service, and twitch as the NOW - also I think people view twitch as the gamers paradise much more than youtube as well)

To an extent, of course.

But you're also forgetting one of the main features with YTG, all of those massively popular channels for gaming like Machinima, are now YTG channels.

Interestingly, it looks like many popular traditional YouTube channels are now YouTube Gaming channels as well, such as Machinima. And this is key to understanding YouTube’s advantage in the streaming game. YouTube is already a popular video site for gaming videos. These popular YouTubers can seamlessly become popular live streamers and take advantage of their existing audience.
