Gaming Channel VS Vlog Channel? OPINIONS!

Yeah, I think it's a safe bet to do both. If you enjoy doing both, then that will definitely show in your work. We personally 'technically' do both, but we focus more on our vlogging as it's not as intensive to edit or setup as the gaming videos on top of our work schedules. I think if you are creating a schedule for yourself, as far as how often you do gaming as opposed to vlogging, you can find a nice balance between the two.
 
I only see a point in Vlogs if they´re about someone who is known for doing other things. If you´re a well known filmmaker, it would be nice to see your daily life. If you´re a well known Gamer, it would also be nice to show to your fans how is your day. But simply Vlogging? Why would anyone care about your life? I can´t answer that for myself, because i don´t see any reason to care about the life of some random dude. It´s pointless, so i´d definitely go for a gaming channel.
 
don't think there are to many people doing this or that... think out of the box, for example me and mi girl, we are doing gamming videos, yeah gamming videos, but we do together we comment together, we call names each other xD things like that because it is not usual to see a couple doing that kind of things, i do some how to do stuff to.. but you need to find a way to "tell" to your viewers or subs, hey look at this it is diferent! i know we have a few subs e viewers because we start that a few days ago, but thinking different is the best way to have more people :)
that is my opinion of course.
 
100% it is more likely to get successful doing video games that doing vlogs. Vlogs are the hardest category to break into. The reason for this is that vlog channels are slightly more sub driven than other categories on YouTube but that slight difference makes a huge difference on how hard it is to get popular. YouTube is pretty much a level playing field between big channels and small channels but when it comes to vlogs, until you have a ton of subs, you're not going to pick up a lot of "free" views that YouTube gives you because YouTube has a harder time relating your content to other videos (which is what gets you in suggested search) than if you're doing videos on a clearly defined topic (e.g. review of NBA Live 2015).

On the pro-side of doing a vlog channel, if you do make it, you can crank out a video every day with minimal editing time needed and you'll get a lot more views from your subs than gaming. For people that are interested in daily vlogging, I recommend that they start a channel about a specific subject - e.g. gaming, cooking, cars, etc. And slowly over time as their sub count goes up transition into more general daily vlogs (think Shaytards).
