Peter Moore leaves Microsoft for Electronic Arts

Peter Moore is the former president of Microsoft’s interactive entertainment business (IEB) group and he has now resigned from his current position in the company to join Electronic Arts.

He would now be overseeing EA’s sports games division.

Incidentally, Microsoft just recently announced that they would be taking a $1 billion charge to extend the warranty of their Xbox 360 gaming console which continues to face failing problems.

The company has however clarified that Moore’s leaving the company has got nothing to do with this recently taken decision.

Robbie Bach, president of the company’s entertainment and devices division said in a statement: “Peter has contributed enormously to the games business since joining Microsoft, and we are sad to see him go.”

Moore added in his owns statement: “I couldn’t be more excited about joining EA and moving my family back to the San Francisco Bay area.”
