first he is not in charge of the Xbox division he is in charge to the hardware division... which includes the Xbox.... huge difference.... second he still wouldn't have any power of decision on whether Xbox should go or not... he might have leverage but won't be the one making the decision and the true head of the Xbox division will be the one making the report and assessment with elop putting in his recommendation on top.... personally I have zero worries.... and no elop didn't destroy nokia... sure things might have been done better in some cases.... but it would have been way worst if it had stayed the course it was on....

BTW that news is not news... we've known that possibility since the Nokia phone buy out was announced for people that really follow MS business news....

So a guy who wants Xbox gone is going to report out to his bosses all the good things its been doing??? LOL   Reality is it will probably be the other way around.

you know you can make graphs or pie charts to make your point about a product and thats what i expect from Elop is alot of look how bad we're doing lets sell it. You did make me laugh tho almost spit out my drink. thanks

he won't be the one reporting.... the reports are done by the head of the xbox division even to his boss or better yet to the CEO....

 

he won't be the one making the pie charts..... once again he would be the head of the hardware division.....

like if you work for a multinational at a local production plant.... the boss of the local plant is not the one doing the reporting on production at that location.... the head of production is... he merrely does analyzis of what report he gets and might put his own twist to it.... but I don't see any threat so far.... he'd have way better things to do in his new position than work hard on destroying the XB brand to sell it off.... cause it ain't the surface or phone division that makes cash much.... so unless he wants to show red quarter earnings every time he can go ahead and axe it.... he is the one that would be blamed for the hardware division failure.... so unless he magically can get 25% marketshare with the WP and surface I don't see him do anything radical against XB.... or maybe if he sells a lot of KB/mouse bundles to OEMs lol
