Peter Moore: on leaving Microsoft, and adjusting to other platforms |
Ó
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.

Peter Moore = idiot ... yeah now he cares about the PS3 ... dumbass
NO peter moore is a very intelligent individual, he's also one of the best pr people out there. But when he was in ms he had to follow certain guidelines, now hes more free to do what he wants, i wish him the best.
By the way i don't think they would make a dumbass the head of so many reputable companies.
I don't like him, looks a bit too aggresive for my tastes
I can see you have no clue. He works for EA now, not MS. If you think these guys have loyalties, think again. Its business. He makes his huge salary by doing a good job, and with EA, that is supporting each console and sucking as much money from you as they can.
But from your Cap lock "LOLLLLL", I can tell your just a child so I'll give you a break.
he looks like the devil
it's called caps lock, read at your keyboard next time.
