You honestly think he gets paid thousands of dollars to tell people his opinion without any knowledge backing it up....?  He's the kind of guy who is best buds with the CEO of EA games and Microsoft and so forth.  He references meeting various business people from those companies all the time.  He doesn't speak out of his ass.  You wanna look at VGChartz data and tell me its anymore accurate?  What was it again, VGChartz numbers can be as much as 30% off? and that's in either direction.  

At worst he gets asked questions which he's not an expert in.  You will see on those lists of things that he gets wrong, the things he usually gets wrong are things he said that have nothing to do with a companies business decisions.  He once said this was the last generation of consoles.  Clearly he shouldn't have been answering a question like that.  

The things he gets right are things like what will be bundled together, whether something is gonna start costing more or less money.  Those decisions he gets pretty damn accurate on.  

No, he gets paid thousands of dollars to make predictions. You're still not understanding.
