*Calculated by YouTube views at 0730 EST June 11. Where possible, the order of these videos were calculated by official publisher upload viewing figures. Taking into account all of the duplicates and re-uploads would likely change the results entirely, but just roll with it and enjoy them all.
I'm pretty sure when America wakes up, the numbers will all change anyway.
UPDATE: Trailers added after initial calculation: Halo 5, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Deus Ex: The Fall, inFAMOUS Second Son, Destiny, The Order: 1886, Mad Max, The Elder Scrolls Online, Tom Clancy's The Division: Dark Winter and The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot (which doesn't really qualify but made me laugh).
