.Tube launched into General Availability (GA) yesterday where they could be registered on a first come, first served basis.
Including the domain names registered in Sunrise, .tube wound up with just 647 registrations.
As we highlighted yesterday, many of the “better” .tube domain names were reserved or have very high premium prices up to $112,500.

That looks like a low number and quite a disappointment, considering that this domain name could be a popular one among YouTube channels and video bloggers.
I predicted that the registrations would be upwards of 2,000 domains in this extension.
.Tube looks like a decent new gTLD to me, and can have a recognizable niche market among channel owners and video vloggers etc.
What are your views? Did you expect higher numbers too?
