Tegra 4 is a great product and shield is a very nice combination of our technologies. The best "promise" of it is that we plan to release an update every year with exponential performance improvements. Next year's chip is an even bigger jump in relative performance and efficiency. Since it's android based and not proprietary like other gaming systems, the applications will be broadly available, compatible, shareable between systems and inexpensive too.

We'll have to see how the public responds to this but it provides a lot more synergy with our development efforts than working on PS4 or something would. We have to ask for a LOT of money from Sony and Nintendo when they approach us about partnering on future systems because the leverage is just not there.

The biggest issue will probably be that the consumer has to pay for the system up front and then get inexpensive games as opposed to getting a subsidized system with very expensive games. We'll see how it goes.
