 There are always things they say, things that are out of your control. You have to be clear that this is a business and you don't know what can happen in any moment. |
| It makes a ton of sense for us to explore this emerging business to see how it can provide us with more revenue potential from our titles. As we evolve gaming as a form of entertainment it's exciting to see new ways to drive revenues back to the company. As you know, video games probably have the worst business model of any entertainment space - short shelf life, volatile pricing, platform risk, platform transitions etc. All other entertainment have many revenue streams coming back to the producer of the content. Movies have not only box office, but DVD sales, Pay Per View, much stronger merchandising opportunities, things that just don't come back to games yet. Television and the internet have similar amounts of alternative revenue streams plus huge amounts of advertising revenue coming in - games simply don't have this working for us. It's retail and that's it. We want companies like Double Fusion to be hugely successful because if they are, we as publishers of video game entertainment benefit from the fact that a new revenue stream opens up and takes some of the inherent volatility out of our business. |
| While we tend not to think about it too much, these forms of media help construct our sense of the way the world works. Beyond entertainment, they are powerful communicators of ideals and ideas. They shape our perceptions of ourselves and our culture. |
| But sadly, the grim realities of life have started intruding into the fun and games - as is true in other areas, for example, the entertainment business, music, art, TV programming, movies. It's the same kind of issue for reporters in those areas. Entertainment reporters operated with some different standards as well up until fairly recently. |
| When I was reporting crime ... I never had the sense of clockwork conspiracies, or some kind of imposing order of evil. What I sensed was things just sort of falling apart. That's my sense of how crime works, that it's not any kind of calculated evil driven by the devil, but just control disintegrating. Things fall apart and happen out of stupidity and carelessness. Davenport does represent order in this. |
| As well as things have gone, it's still not over. You have to take care of your business. It's nice that we're in control of our own destiny. We don't have to count on anybody right now in doing anything else. If we can take care of things, hopefully good things will happen. |
| [Sales success] didn't just happen by chance. It happened because of some things we're doing right.... We're proud of the fact that we've invested in this business on an ongoing basis. |
| Business users typically have concerns about a new Microsoft product, and that concern was proven to be fairly meaningful when that UPnP bug was revealed. They want to wait for those things to happen and get fixed. |
| This perception could come from advertising, word-of-mouth, direct experience with the business, the company's Web site or any combination of those. It truly reinforces how important it is for companies to be consistent in their marketing, customer service, operations, and reputation across the board. The compilation of these things is what forms the ultimate brand perception in the consumer's mind. |
| A year like that makes you hungrier. It's not that we should win a championship every year, but we certainly should be in contention to win races on a fairly consistent basis. |
