Former Head of Electronic Arts' Worldwide Studios, Joins Microsoft
>> From Newsweek
[QUOTE]
We just spoke via phone with Microsoft corporate vice president Peter Moore, who runs the Xbox division. He called to let us know that Don Mattrick, formerly in charge of Electronic Arts' massive studio operation, has joined Microsoft as an external adviser for its Entertainment and Devices division. Moore first praised Mattrick, who joined us one the phone, as one of the industry's most prominent people, and likened his coming aboard to a baseball superstar joining the Yankees (no A-Rod jokes, please.) Apparently, Moore and Mattrick had been in talks ever since he left EA, exploring a number of opportunities for the two to work together, and this is the arrangement that they came up with.
...
Both Mattrick and Moore were vague about what precisely his new duties would entail. Mattrick expressed excitement about the Microsoft's resources and scope--specifically citing its wide-ranging work on PC games, consoles, devices, accessories, music and other forms of entertainment--but was most enthused about the further development of concepts, properties and services around Xbox Live. Moore stressed that Mattrick would be working with the entire Entertainment and Devices division, including James "J" Allard's Zune music player group. (We'll have more on our brief exchange about Allard in a subsequent post.)
