Before Peter Moore packs up and bids Microsoft adieu to be with his family, EA Sports and a nice paycheck, Major Nelson had a chance to speak with the traveling man about his move.
Moore stresses that the move is really due to his family and is "completely unrelated" to any Xbox 360 warranty issues. The two frequently mention how they'll miss each other, and how Moore will miss his job at Microsoft. Also discussed is his guitar playing ("or lack thereof," quips Nelson). It will be a change, but as president of EA Sports, we doubt he'll even skip a beat jumping back into the limelight.

Does this guy even know what the hell he's doing?

I don't know why you care about this news. In fact, I find it baffling that you do...

So wait he's not going the way of Krazy Ken Kutaragi?

Nope. He's getting way more money, living where he wants with his family, and he works for EA now, which is a guaranteed profit-machine for all eternity. Microsoft's games (and devices) division been in the red since before Moore worked there and still is, especially with the billion dollar red ring warranty mess. This is a huge step up for him. His tattoo will be a little weird now; maybe he'll cover it up with some Madden or Sim City ink.

@Rubang
The tattoos signify exciting things that happened while he worked at Microsoft. Seeing as he had a good run there I doubt he'll suddenly hate them and destroy his tattoos. They're more or less memorabilia for his time working at MS.
The whole move to EA was a pretty obvious choice once you know it sends him closer to his family.

If he works for EA, they can make him a playable character in Rock Band. Yay!

Yup; the only point where he's losing stature is among the hardcore gamers themselves (which i'm starting to believe is more about how associated you are with gaming culture than anything else), as, in our culture's eyes, the big 3 are the highest point anyone could aspire to, and 3rd parties are lowly by comparison (especially EA)

Peter Moore's job will be to tell everyone that even though EA's sports games suck, people should focus on how smoothly the microtransactions are so you buy add-ons that should have been free in the first place.
I've said it before, Peter Moore is going to a division within EA that is perfect for him and vice versa.
Kind of like uniting a toilet with explosive diarrhea. ;)

Gee. The Dream Cast failed using m$ software with Moore at the helm. Now the 360 fails on so many levels he quickly leaves before the financial results are released to save his ass. Now he must support the PS3 and can finally own one without a guilty conscience. Hopefully EA puts a gag order on this idiot before he takes them down too.
