In the eyes of some gamers who have fallen away from the Microsoft brand what else could he do wrong really? Add a robot arm to each new X1 that tries to strangle you while you game? From the sounds of it the guy has some ideas about streamlining the business to make it profitable, hopefully that doesn't mean they'll try to weasel more money outta people with microtransactions selling us bits and pieces of what should be full retail games... but only time will tell.

That's true, but they could have at least picked someone who didn't come out publicly saying he wanted to get rid of the brand. Not that it really makes much difference, I'm just being pedantic.

Wow, this is an odd choice. I have a feeling he might be super cutthroat. He doesn't look like someone who games.

OMG

Do you think that the higher ups would put the guy in charge if he didn't have a change in philosophy/thinking? I mean it was said back in November that he would consider to do this. We are almost in March.

The man would be a great choice

Why does this guy even still have a job? Wasn't he the guy who ran Nokia into the ground by missing foresight?

Could only mean one thing...

How come you're always in need of more enlightenment?

I'm interested in your take on it. What does it tell you?

Besided the usual "it was expected, we saw it coming and other such vague terms of course..

I think it is an excellent idea to have the people that designed the Nokia devices in charge of the division at MS that has the responsibility of designing consumer hardware.
