"I think the issue most people run into is that they go in expecting to make a fortune, when they are making the games that they want to make, and not the ones that the marketplace wants them to make."
"This is not a threat to the console business. It's a different player - or if it's the same player, they're playing at different times and under different circumstances."
"I have personally lost a lot of interest in devices that do not offer something that feels truly fresh with new and exciting ways of interaction, like the first iPhone, the DS, or the Wii."
