That's interesting and very curious timing when you're about to launch a new console. I guess they just don't want to offer the pay that comes with that position. Still, if there was a time you wanted someone leading your marketing team, it would be now. Probably going to have more big decisions made by upper executives, with the marketing team doing the grunt work.
Usually when you see something like this, it's because someone higher up wants more control.
Of course, we won't know if it will have a negative effect until a year or two from now.
