...their new machines this fall. Those changeovers, which happen every four or five years, are moments of opportunity in the gaming industry, when the guard changes and the underdog has its day. Nintendo--a company that is, for better or for worse, addicted to risk taking--will attempt to steal a march on its competitors with a bizarre wireless device that senses a player's movements and uses them to control video games.

And despite the fact that Murphy had not come across Tunovic until late in the recruiting process, the young man had already been admitted on the strength of his academic achievements, removing another barrier...
