well spend six months now which is a kind of surprising went by very quickly but really tried to clear my head and figure out what I want to do next I I realized I don't think I'm completely ready to go and play golf full time but I haven't really found something that I can completely sink my teeth into something that I'm completely passionate about her so one of the biggest craze is going through right now is VR right so where do you think it's headed but I still think it has a little bit of a way to go I do think it's going to be evolutionary for gaming I don't know if it's going to completely change the way people play games but i do think we'll add to that immersive nature and will have a major impact on gaming the toys to life thing is becoming huge is it a flash in the pan it's something that's always been appealing to me one of the companies i had the opportunity to meet with recently was anki drive the cool thing about anki drive is you're still using you know your Android or your smartphone or your tablet but then you're physically looking at cars racing around the track what's the best game you ever played I used to love a game called choplifter on the game boy and I played the heck out of that and I tended to travel all the time and I still do so i'm not really a living room type gamer I'm kind of an on-the-fly gamer and I'd be lying to say I'm not addicted to to super cell right now with clash of clans and you know when my shield is up and it's not a good time to go into battle I go over to heyday and I work on my crops over there and then maybe I'll play a couple of levels of candy crush and I never thought I'd be saying that even a year ago what do you think of how Microsoft's doing right now I think they've got a little bit of identity crisis going on right now although I think they've kind of come out of it but I don't know that the average gamer is fully aware that you still hear a lot of people talking about their initial presentation for the xbox one a lot of the confusion over digital rights management and ability to use used games and have it on and of course they made ultimately i think the right decision in all those areas but because it was a departure from what they initially said that that baggage tends to stick with you what about sony how do you feel about how they're doing well i mean i think the playstation 4 is a runaway success and i'm very proud of what we were able to accomplish there that was in amazing thing I think one of the big challenges for Sony and for the PlayStation 4 is that it's a very expensive industry you've got some real fierce competition so I think keeping their eye on the prize and being focused on the crown jewel is going to be the the smartest move for them and I think anything that takes their focus off of that could ultimately leave the door open for competition
