Jesus Christ, Peter.. everyone hits pause on accident sometimes!

Unlike when that Sony dude left, it's safe to say that Peter Moore is leaving for reasons that have nothing to due with failure and crappy consoles. The Xbox 360 is hot, and this year end it'll be hotter with the insane amount of games it'll boast. Peter is leaving right in the thick of it, showing that the Xbox is strong enough to stand on it's own two feet now. Believe it or not, that's actually a good sign.

Love,

That sucks, Peter Moore is the shit. Don Mattrick has some big shoes to fill.

[Tussell]

Wow, didn't see that one coming!

My above statement never said it was good, I do agree with you here Legion, Peter Moore is the shit. I don't know much about this Don fellow, but he's got some ground to make up.

[Tussell]

Meh, well, EA seem to be pretty good doing what they do, so I have some hope in it.

[Wolf]

Good. I can't stand hearing him speak.

Thanks for the warranty bump, though.

[DeW222]

Peter Moore was a fun guy. I mean, what other corporate executive decides to unveil big products with fake tattoos?

Hopefully this Don Mattrick will keep everything together.

[Sanction]

NOOOOooooo, one more step that EA has taken to gain control of the [gaming] world.

[Zef]

I'd like to announce that as of July 30th I am going to shoot my 360 to death every day (although once will probably be enough) until Grandmaster Moore returns. Does anyone know his address so I can send him a card?

I don't like the sound of any EA pathogen taking his place.

[Darth Odan]

....I'm not sure if this is a coincidence...But...There's a red hooded horseman with a sword right next to me....I think Peter Moore just initiated the Apocalypse...He can't leave, let alone allow an ex EA Games person take his spot!

[Minty]

Good to see that noone is irreplaceable tho...

[Rand al Thor 19]

Do you guys read how much he is getting from EA????
They're paying Moore $550K with a target bonus of 75%, 350K stock options, 50K stock, $1.5M signing bonus, and $330K relocation expenses. No wonder he left.

I should run a poll (only for senior members though.. jk jk (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?p=327219#post327219)) asking if my obscure jokes are just not funny or go over people's heads. I bet I wouldn't like the results :drunk

One man does not a company make. The 360 will go on same as before regardless if it's Peter Moore or Don Mattrick. There's a plan in place, Peter Moore was the mouth piece (and not a very good one).

I bet I wouldn't like the results :drunkAt least it's this way with me, but whenever I read something like that I think, "wow, I should really tell the guy how awesome that is" or "man, good point," but I never seem to be able to express that with a faint scent of homosexuality, so I never say anything, even though I will constantly wait on others to reply to posts of mine that I feel are in that obscure/zinger category. Anyway, it was funny, and we know that it was funny, but we are all too chicken to say anything.

I believe "obscure" is the key word here. I got a giggle out of it if that makes you feel any better?

But yeah, this is depressing. One of my favorite corporate figureheads from recent memory.

[Kaens]

Hey two people got it! I'm satisfied!

Haha, are you still going to open up them Polls, Kaens?:p

Well, farewell Peter, Hello Don!

Question from the press: So Matt...How are YOU going to make the M$ Xbox 360 better? And will your LOYAL Customers benefit from it?

I want the ANSWERS and I want them NOW!:p

[jarhead1990]

Haha. I loved your post and was reading through and planned on commenting. I swear that was the first thing I thought too when I read the headline. That's funny shit. :drunk

[jackanape]

I wish EA had recruited Reggie Fils Aime instead because every time he speaks part of me dies inside - if he'd gone to EA he would have been restricted to the same pointless soundbites as the rest of their staff. Oh what a happy day that would have been.

It also surprises me that anyone could outbid Microsoft for someone who seems to be doing as well as Peter Moore. Surely if MS had REALLY wanted to keep him they could easily afford to do so.

[logitech]

Peter moore is not leaving microsoft! were did you get that crap from. he will not leave microsoft for some fool to take OVER.

Uhh, yea, yes he is leaving. Go to any game site and look in the news section.

[Kaens]

Here's the offer letter (http://sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/712515/000119312507156469/d8k.htm) from EA.

[Zef]

Or follow the link in the first post and read for yourself, that is why it is there.

Sure sure, but it's just cool to see how much he's going to get paid. I know Randal posted the details in another thread, but this is where the conversation is happening.

[Zef]

We posted at the same time, I was referring to the post a bit above yours =P

EA must be desperate if they are paying/giving him so much, but if the big M don't want to counter it they must know something we don't. Maybe Moore is a secret agent and he is going to do justice to the world by destroying EA from the inside. What a hero.

[tigon7]

yeah peter more has been a very key player in video games for along time

[xVanished]

Good and bad. Lets see if the Xbox360 holds out.
