Xbox Execs Gain Clout

Posted by Zonk on from the doing-a-good-job dept.

C|Net reports that Microsoft's Entertainment and Xbox division heads have been given new positions with greater influence in the company. J. Allard is now the leader of the new Experiences and Design for Gaming and Entertainment Group, while Robbie Bach now oversees a reorganized Entertainment and Devices division. Gamasutra has commentary as well. From that article: "Once confirmed by Microsoft themselves, the changes will essentially give a larger company-wide influence for executives involved with the Xbox, presumably to counter rival next generation formats being released next year. It will also help with the integration of the Xbox brand and technologies with other areas of Microsoft's business - such as the compatibility between Xbox Live and MSN that has already been hinted at by the company."

    ...can you lose your company four BILLION dollars and get promoted.

    I'm just waiting for Peter Moore to take over as CEO.
