continuous introduction of new products, rapid developments in technology and
subjective and changing consumer preferences; (iv) the timing of the release
of new game titles and products, especially game titles and products that are
part of historically popular series; (v) our ability to successfully expand
internationally with a focus on our Digital Entertainment, Arcade Game, and
Gaming & Systems businesses; (vi) our ability to successfully expand the
