Xbox head defects to Sony

Ed FriesFormer head of Xbox games, Ed Fries, has ended a 10 year relationship with Microsoft to enter the arms of its arch (game console) nemesis, Sony, as the Executive Producer of SOE's Seattle office.  Fries worked closely on the development of Xbox Live and has other experience with MMOGs.  Sony is obviously trying to beef up its competition for the next-gen, which will likely be fought and won on the online battlefield.  Rest assured, Microsoft is watching closely, just in case Fries accidentally breaches a clause in his old contract.
