Let's plays are tough to grow simply by math. The average American spends 15.9 hours a month watching videos online and although the younger demographic spends more hours than older ones, it is still the fact that the big youtubers produce between 5 and 16 videos a week. PewDiePie averages at 8. The average gaming video is 9:36 long so that is between 1 and 2 hours of footage in a week. So just from one youtuber, your audience are spending 5-10 hours of their 15.9 a month on just one youtuber. Add other youtubers out there such as CaptainSparklez, Seananners, Yogscast and you can see why there simply aren't a lot of hours left for your main audience.
But, thing of other mediums close to let's plays. Reviews are generally longer but are released less often so people looking for game reviews have a lot of their hours left to find your video. Tutorials are another easy one. If you can do animation or music parodies do it because they have a large amount of people wanting that sort of content and yet the average music/animation video can take weeks between each one, only to be 3-4 minutes long.
Sorry for the long paragraph. I tend to really elaborate and over-analyse everything.
