| 570252 | 2007-07-19 05:21:00 | This can't be good for the Xbox division.:eek: "The head of the troubled Interactive Entertainment Business unit will be replaced by Don Mattrick, former president at game maker Electronic Arts. Microsoft on Tuesday said Peter Moore resigned as head of the company's Interactive Entertainment Business unit, which includes the Xbox video game console, and will pursue another "opportunity in the video games industry."" www.informationweek.com I guess no matter how big your company is, there will always be someone who gets held accountable when things go pear shaped. |

| 570256 | 2007-07-19 06:00:00 | I guess the timing of his shift is not that great. Could actually be better for Xbox though - the next guy is then not tainted with being in charge during the scandals that have just popped up. |
