The videogame space is exciting and it's changing rapidly. ATVI and Take Two are also good. These names can be lumpy because of release dates, but he prefers ATVI because of their titles like Call of Duty and for their eco-system. The next generation won't slow down on videogames (he has a 9-year-old who's good at games).
He owns Activision instead because it has a longer runway of growth due to its forthcoming games. It's traditionally been a toss-up between this and EA. It comes down to runway.
He follows the gaming and e-sports space. He owns Take-Two instead of EA, thanks to the longer runway on the publishing side.
They produce entertainment software for PCs, tablets and home video game consoles. Have done very well because the industry is moving from the physical console gaming to more of the digital gaming space. Mobile gaming revenues should continue to climb as consumers continue to buy and spend more on smart phones and tablets. This has done very well by having fewer types of titles out, rather than “60 something” titles. They are really focused on quality control. Has a partnership with Disney to produce games that are based on Star Wars. Trading at 21X forward earnings with a 14%-15% growth rate.
