Peter Moore Leaves Microsoft for EA SportsIn some rather surprising news today, Microsoft's Peter Moore has resigned from his position as Corporate VP of the Interactive Entertainment Business and accepted a job at Electronic Arts as President of the EA Sports label. Moore will begin his new job this September and will report to EA CEO John Riccitiello. Here's a snippet from EA's press release: "Peter Moore's proven record of leadership in games and sports makes him a terrific fit for heading up EA SPORTS," said EA CEO John Riccitiello. "As a partner at Microsoft and earlier, as a competitor, we've learned to respect his vision and leadership." "The people at EA SPORTS have created one of the strongest brands in the entertainment industry and John Riccitiello is building an organization which will extend the company's leadership to new platforms and new audiences all over the world," said Peter Moore. "I couldn't be more excited about joining EA and moving my family back to the San Francisco Bay Area." Microsoft has sent out a press release of their own, appointing former EA president Don Mattrick as Moore's replacement.
