The big news in executive shake ups last week is the announcement that Stephen Elop—former CEO of Nokia—will now be taking the role of head for the Devices & Studios division, the portion of the company that handles videogames. In other words, the former head of Nokia is now in charge of the fortunes of the Xbox One and Xbox 360. This is a division that’s changed hands a lot over the years, with the dramatic and surprise departure of Don Mattrick last year, to be replaced by Julie Larson-Green who is now moving over to the “My Life & Work” team as Chief Experience Officer.
So what does this mean for the future of the Xbox One?
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
It's been 20 years to the day since Xbox Live brought online play to consoles.
I remember when Live turned five and they had special edition controllers made and everything. Kind of wished they would do that again for the 20th.
Happy Birthday. OG XBL (and later 360 XBL) really revolutionized online gaming on console.
Never understood the obsession with live...but I was gaming online on PC so not sure too much of what live did that the PlayStation didn't.
Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
Xbox Live 1.0, the first instance of online servers for the original Xbox, is set to return via Insignia, a free third-party service that's currently compatible with 20 titles, such as Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Counter-Strike.
Change the first letter of his last name to an "F" and you'll have your answer.
Don't we have like 2 or 3 of the same article? I don't to know what it means.
This guy has the look of someone who farts in an elevator with two people and blames it on the other person.
Yeah lets get the guy that was asleep at the helm of Nokia for 5 years and put him in charge. Too funny.
Aslong as they don't get rid of Phil Spencer there's hope for a strong product.
Which is great for everyone because of the competition it brings. I guarantee you if Xbox dies...Playstation will just pull in mad cash in their gaming division and then stop building new games and probably just back their major money makers...Much like Microsoft did with the X360. Strong beginning and a weaker ending.
