In two months, it'll be a year since Peter Moore left his position as Corporate Vice President of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business division to become head of EA Sports.In a recent interview, Moore relates that leaving Microsoft was a decision that had to be done, but it was a hard one nonetheless:
It was a combo of a great job, living back in the Bay area, and yeah it broke my heart leaving Microsoft, but sometimes you have decisions to make and this is one I did. There was no 'I think it's a good time to leave'.
If you remember, Moore explained early on that he left Microsoft so that his family can move back to San Francisco. Looking forward now, Moore explains his plans for EA Sports, saying that he now has to adjust to all existing platforms, not just Microsoft's:
I now work for a company that's multi-platform third-party [...] My goal is to grow EA Sports, and I need the PS3 to continue to gain momentum, I've got to readjust my brand on Nintendo Wii, I've got to look at what we do on PC.
The thing I love about this generation is all three platforms have set up stalls that are very distinctive. It's not like in the old days, when Dreamcast and PlayStation, then PlayStation 2 and Xbox were all crowding into a similar space. What you've got now is three platforms doing well.
