The BSR Philosophy

The BSR philosophy is early and unbiased insight. BSR provides clients with a competitive edge by delivering timely answers to the questions of who, what, where, why and how in both the wireless marketplace and the video game industry:

  • What is happening in the industry today, where could it go tomorrow, and why?
  • Which handset vendors have the competitive advantage?
  • Which video game publishers are most vulnerable?


In addition to delivering timely and accurate market intelligence, BSR provides true unbiased research. BSR is an independent marketing research firm that is not owned by nor affiliated with any wireless service provider, OEM, video game manufacturers, or investment firm. Furthermore, BSR does not engage in any investment banking or brokerage services, thereby eliminating the conflicts of interest inherent in research products of traditional equity research firms.

Our proprietary, labor-intensive channel survey process and expansive network of relationships within the wireless service provider, handset, data device, and video game industries provide the foundation to our research results. Our channel survey process includes hundreds of interviews per research report. We combine our survey results with unparalleled information from industry insiders, including suppliers, distributors, marketing managers and sales representatives. The compilation and extrapolation of this fundamental market research and the anecdotal commentary from our industry contacts provides opportune insight into the performance of the wireless communications and video game industries.
