It's very important for (Microsoft) to show us a portfolio of titles that are only available on Xbox and that show the power of that machine. I think there is a ton of headroom that has yet to be exploited in the Xbox.

The fact that you can identify a group of people who are at risk for problematic behaviors is very important. If you can intervene on a group of people before they begin drug use or embark on a cycle of addiction, that could have huge health benefits.
