Peter Moore is Leaving the Xbox Team

Peter Moore has resigned from his position of corporate vice president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business in the Entertainment and Devices Division. Why did he resign? Well it seems that he has decided to move back to the Bay Area for personal reasons. What will he do next? Well, sources say that Moore will be moving to EA's Sports Division.

His seat will be left empty for just a mere second as his replacement Don Mattrick, a former Electronic Arts President, will be taking over really soon, a bit ironic don't you think. Mattrick, has been Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division since February. He says that "I'm thrilled to join an already strong team that's delivering truly amazing gaming experiences to customers around the world. I've never been more excited about the future of the industry and firmly believe Microsoft will lead the next great innovations in gaming."

Petter Moore's position will be hard to fill, lets just hope that Mattrick can bring as much for the Xbox team as Moore has. I wish the best for Peter Moore at EA and I welcome Don Mattrick to the team.
