Microsoft & EA Trade Execs

Filed in archive News on July 19, 2007

Teen heartthrob/vice president of the Xbox division at Microsoft Peter Moore recently announced that he's jumping ship and swimming to EA Sports. Why? Well, the bag of money they offered him probably had something to do with it, but I like to think that he just wanted to make Sony's Jack Tretton nervous:

"We wish Peter the best of luck in his new role at Electronic Arts and look forward to working with him. We have an outstanding relationship with EA and their sports products have been incredibly successful on all our platforms. I am sure this will continue with Peter now at the helm."

Moore's replacement is EA's own Don Mattrick. Is that a Madden exclusivity announcement I smell cooking?
