lulz.

I really hope this is not true. This man ran a one proud Nokia into the ground.

...interesting, wonder how this will affect MS´ ability to buy exclusives for their consoles.

Virtuame is a PS4 fan twitter aka an anti-xbox twitter. All you see is him retweeting what people have 'heard' and pass them off as facts. and absolutely random people. Just ignore / ban that twitter handle from being used here.

Edit:

Never mind. I misunderstood. Sorry.

We'll see which are the mid-long term plans of Microsoft with the Xbox, and what will Elop do. After all, for Microsoft it makes sense to put Elop in charge of its phones division. Don't you agree?

Btw, shouldn't that "answer" tweet be the other way around? The butcher has arrived at the pig's?

he may be pro-lets-sell-the-xbox-division but he's not in charge of selling of whole divisions.
so thing he can do is increasing the 'market value' of his division. make it more profitable.
i don't know much about him but he was CEO of a device manufacturer, so he knows at least a good bunch about his new position.

he seems like a good choice.

This is true.
