This is excellent news for Xbox. Well done Satya. But, Elop's shadow is still hovering above though.

He reports to Myerson not Elop, I don't think Elop has any say whatsoever.

"Stephen Elop will join Microsoft as Executive Vice President, Microsoft Devices Group"

Dunno if that includes Xbox or not.

Oh... i finished reading it.

"Stephen will partner closely with Phil and Terry on Xbox"

So i guess you didnt get this one seece. He seems to have a word on it.

I think that is more about integrating the xbox services like live and music with devices.  Since those services are under phil and the xbox division, but who knows.  I doubt elop will have much jf anything to do with the core xbox business.

ot: this is great news for the xbox division.  Phil spencer is probably the best choice to rebrand their somewhat tarnished image.  They should have gotten rid of don mattrick a long time ago though...
