Well, I didn't expect this. He seemed pretty good as the head Xbox guy. I wonder what this is going to mean, if anything.
Microsoft just confirmed the news we exclusively broke two hours ago: Peter Moore resigned from Microsoft.
Moore will be replaced by Don Mattrick, a former president of EA and current external adviser for Microsoft, who will now lead the Interactive Entertainment Business for Microsoft. While the official release says that Moore "has decided to move his family back to the Bay Area for personal reasons and has secured another opportunity in the video games industry", we've heard that calls have already started going out within the industry confirming that the other "opportunity" is EA where he will head up EA Sports.
When we last spoke with Moore, just a week ago, he was comfortable in his element but did seem a bit more haggard than usual, perhaps because of his back-breaking E3 schedule or perhaps because he had this on his mind. Moore will stay with Microsoft through August before returning to the San Francisco Bay area.

You win this time!
We need a damn you to hell emoticon something fierce.
Anyways, I was expecting this sooner than later, as Moore can't stay in one place for too long. Like a balding ferret.

Also, doesn't EA and Microsoft swapping execs seem a little, I dunno, incestuous?
Seriously. But I do know this: he's from EA. Nothing good comes from EA.
So he was a natural fit at MS?

Which makes him a perfect fit for EA!
:evil:?
Except Spore.

If they were, he deserves to not be able to work thanks to his stupidity.
Why do I think the 360 is going to turn into the Dreamcast now...
So the question is...why doesn't this guy work for EA anymore?
Didn't someone leave EA because they felt EA was too focused on sequels?
For shame, Microsoft. For shame.
hehehe...our minds our similar, or the joke was obvious :-)
Well, we don't know yet. They still have time to fuck that up.
Halo, Halo 2, Perfect Dark Zero were all rushed. Those are just the ones that the developers confirmed that they needed moore time on.
Yes, I know. Perfect Dark Zero rushed. It is funny when you think about it.
Don't know this new guy so...
There is no way the 360 will ever be as good as the Dreamcast.
ROFL, good call.
DO YOU DARE DEFY WILL WRIGHT?
Can I say yes here?
Ok well how about at least the ratio of MS to EA in quality is very favorable in MS.
QOTY material right here.
Microsoft is DOOMED.
Absolutely. Not since the heydays of the Sega/Super Nintendo feud have we seen such quality first party games from all of the major hardware players. Mircosoft and Sony especially have upped their quality in the past few years. EA is doing better but it can't really escape from the franchised money making pit they've thrown themselves into. A C&C 3 here, a Spore there can't save them from their other crimes against gaming.
Why exactly neither of his tattoos have a conflicting nature with his expected employer.
