Next Generation reports that Sales and Marketing Director for Nintendo of Europe Jim Merrick has officially moved on from the company. Meanwhile, Greg Koler has been cemented as the CEO for Infinium Labs, the "maker" of the Phantom console. Koler has been serving as interim CEO of the company since Bachus quit last November. From the Koler article: "The Phantom Game Service has an unparalleled legacy of boldness, innovation and great opportunities for the online video games market sector ... Together we look forward to joining our strengths in engineering and technology with a sales and marketing driven presence to deliver the most advanced online video game service and devices for consumers."
