OK I saw the thing. I'm divided, on one hand it's a good thing as it will hopefully make gamers more aware of sales stuff.
On the other hand, it is Pachter so I expect a lot of unsubstantiated or outright wrong stuff. In this show, for example, he said casual game sales are down in 2009 and the trouble in the industry is because the casual gamer got out... he doesn't give hard data so it's hard to do a proper rebuttal, but I suspect he's not counting things such as Wii Sports Resort? It's not like the casual gamers will buy casual-only games every year, as there are many games that appeal to lots of demographics.
