You've read us reporting on their speculations, opinions and takes on anything and everything that's big, new and shiny in the videogames industry. Now, actually see them talk about what they do best - that's being videogame analysts - in this video clip of Bonus Round, featuring none other than Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan and Billy Pidgeon of IDC. Make a sandwich, probably make a drink - this is one long video, clocking about 17 minutes long.

In this Bonus Round, we get to hear Michael's and Billy's side of the story - what they actually do, what happens when their predictions turn out right or wrong, the stuff we have often wondered about these guys. And, of course, being videogame analysts, they give their two cents on everything.

Certainly a rare opportunity to get to know the minds behind all the speculative news in the industry. Enjoy the video!

» Speculation?

Why Speculate? It only harms the industry, and I can't believe that people really get paid to make random guesses, and that people believe that these guesses, which are obviously biased, deserve any merit.

Pachter doesn't get paid for the gaming industry speculation. His guesses are based off his own business experience and expectation of what companies should be doing. Its the bloggers and gaming sites which treat them as if he has some special knowledge, and put up articles about what he says.
