No, our two favorite tellers of the future (sorry, <a href="http://tv.disney.go.com/disneychannel/thatssoraven/index.html">Raven</a>) return in <a href="http://gametrailers.com/bonusround.php?ep=9&pt=2">part two</a> of Bonus Rounds' episode about analysts.<br /><br />This time, the focus is less on what they do and more on what it is they're predicting -- "it" of course, being the console war. Do watch for a fantastic analogy from Michael Pachter.
