What do people have against this guy? He hasnt done anything wrong? I actually think he's a likable PR guy. He dosen't make things to complicated with techno jargon.

It may have become successfull, but it also lost a lot of what made xbox great under him.  He seems to specialize sucking the soul out of companies.  Before he worked at microsoft, he worked at EA.

i still think xbox is a great product, but it has the potential to be much more...

lol what people fail to realize it's it's not about gamers opinion but about shareholder and financial results.... Ballmer got MS back on track and matrick got the XB division profitable..... bottom line they did their job whether customer like how they did it or not.... numbers are all that matter at that level... and the XB division will be merged with something that's almost certain....

Well if true, well deserved.
He needs a new team for their PR (not for game / console advertisements though)

People love having a villain to blame everything on. The fact of the matter is, Mattrick and others are responsible for making the Xbox what it is today, which is the most successful console on the market, and also by far the best online infrastructure, hands down. Sony and Nintendo aren't even close.

But, can he share his salary with his family or ten chosen friends?

Don Mattrick: "If you're backwards compatible, you're really backwards"

Don is this gen Ken Kutaragi. Yeah he gets credit for making the brand pop, but if the last few weeks were anything to go by Don might also be credited for hurting the brand. Like Ken I think it's time for Don to go before he causes more harm.

Why? Don is a walking PR nightmare for microsoft. He's just an idiot.

I actually like Don Matrick a lot. He has charisma and presents himself well. He's a lot better than Jack Trent who is boring with no emotions.
