How typical of a new CEO. Same thing happened when I worked with HP. I am sure Nutella will get himself a big fat bonus at the end of the year.

Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Damn that sucks. Well at least it's because MS is employing too many people with the Nokia overlap with WIndows phone division as opposed to cutting jobs to stem losses

I see what u did there.
