Every company needs to have a skunkworks, to try things that have a high probability of failing. You try to minimize failure, but at the same time, if you're not willing to try things that are inherently risky, you're not going to make progress.

When you're building something, you know all of the trade-offs.

I'm a big believer in the Wii. I love the physicality of the Wii controller, and how you can get the feeling of throwing a bowling ball or swinging a golf club. Those are the kinds of games I really like.

We're moving away from a credentialed society to a merit society.

I guess I'd like to be known for being an innovator, fostering creativity, thinking outside the box. You know, keeping people playful.
