Julie Larson-Green 'poised to become next Xbox One boss'

Steve Ballmer, the chief executive of the sprawling Windows empire, is said to be considering a sweeping reorganisation of executive oversight, according to alleged inside sources speaking to Bloomberg.

One proposed outcome is that the current Windows chief Julie Larson-Green "would oversee hardware engineering for all devices, including Xbox gaming consoles and Surface tablets".

1 month later ......... Zynga have announced that Julie will now take over as boss !

You couldn't come up with something better?

No_Limit3998d ago

1 month later ......... Sony fanboys have announced that MS can't be trusted and will abandoned core gamers.

Mr_Nuts3998d ago

Yes because anyone who criticizes MS are Sony fanboys

Get real man

YNWA963998d ago

BS, plenty of 'hardcore' Sony fanboys will also buy X1 because they are just gamers... They will just try keep it secret...

KwietStorm_BLM3998d ago

lol jeezus it's not even about Beloved Sony vs Holy Microsoft it was just a joke. What.is.the.deal with everyone on this site being so opportunistic and defensive? The gaming community is it's own biggest enemy, and people really want cross platform gaming? We need to exercise our own demons first.

gaffyh3998d ago

@no_limit - Ignoring the Sony fanboy bit, that already happened 3 years ago, pretty much since the Kinect launched. And it's true, MS will probably do the same with Xbone, support it with exclusives for 4 years and then give up.

She's currently responsible for Windows 8.

RIP Xbox's focus on gaming.

torchic3998d ago

wasn't she responsible for Windows 7 as well?

I don't have Windows 8 myself but most people I hear say it's good apart for the Metro start page replacement.

I really don't like Microsoft but this could be good news for them

rainslacker3998d ago

She's responsible for heading the division that made Windows 8, 7, and the common features between different devices. That directive came down from MS though, probably with her input. It was a corporate thing. To say any one person is responsible for a huge MS directive isn't really fair. I think that applies to Mattrick as well. Mattrick's biggest problem though was that he just came across really bad when talking to the press. I doubt he was the only player in MS initial policies on the X1.

MS gaming heads always look like nfl loving beer drinkers who reminisce about their college glory days and now a corporate/soccer mom.

.......... I think I see what you did there.

-Mika-3998d ago (Edited 3998d ago )

Im so happy to see a woman taking over.

EXVirtual3998d ago (Edited 3998d ago )

Why are you getting so many disagrees?

Edit: I'm definitely getting my daily dose of MS antics. Lol

mushroomwig3998d ago (Edited 3998d ago )

He's getting disagrees because what he said shouldn't mean a thing. Why would he be happy that a woman is taking over? What difference should it make?

The only thing people should be concerned about is her lack of experience, not her gender.

Anthotis3998d ago

Because he's a sad beta male.

NihonjinChick3998d ago (Edited 3998d ago )

I'm a girl and even I don't see why it matters if a woman or man takes over.

I just hoped it's someone qualified that can clean up all the shit off the fan.
I don't think she is the person for that and more shit will hit the fan.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3998d ago (Edited 3998d ago )

I usually disagree with u but I am glad to see a woman also.

But she looks like a lame soccer mom who hates games.

If it was Aisha Tyler? sure. But this chick likes windows 8 ugh.

Reborn3998d ago

Why does it matter if its a man, or woman? If I'm the CEO of a company, I couldn't care what sex you are. If you're an excellent candidate for the job, you should be considered. If its proven that you clearly surpass the other rivals, you should be given the position.

It's like implementing a quota for females needed in senior positions. You're basically forcing businesses to put woman, who may not be up to the job, in senior positions. It has no purpose, realistically.

Gimmemorebubblez3998d ago (Edited 3998d ago )

If Phil Harrison gets the jobs then the infiltration is complete.

On topic: She is responsible for Office Ribbon.

GABRIEL10303998d ago

Sure, Phil is the hero behind enemy lines xD

WOW! What an incredible amount of words to say so little.

A bizarre, verbal onslaught "review" that tries so hard to be eloquently whimsical in its writing to cover the fact it doesn't really contain any content. Other than the self explanatory and rehashing what we already know...

Someone's either trying really hard to impress someone at the office or this was written by AI.. Tone it down a bit, It'll give people less of a headache.

Why Metal Gear Solid 3 is the Best Prequel Ever Made

With Metal Gear Solid Delta on its way, we look back to see how the original Snake Eater is the foundation on which the entire Metal Gear series is built and is without doubt the greatest prequel ever made.

just_looken8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

The fact you can kill the end by either changing your console clock or my way when he is on the dock is such a cool Easter egg.

My video/play through i time coded the part of end getting killed at the dock
https://www.youtube.com/liv...

The river scene with ocelot's dad will also change depending on your kill count
https://www.youtube.com/liv...

So many things that can change on each playthrough

Oh also the iconic ladder scene always a classic
https://www.youtube.com/liv...

just_looken7h ago

wait are people upset i gave out spoilers on a 20 year old ps2 game?

Like for real this was on top of alot of charts for sales with so many different versions

SimpleDad7h ago

There are many people (new) that didn't experience the game dude.

just_looken7h ago

It's 20 years old man these new "gamers" are weak

No one here ever turn on a history channel or go to school there are scary spoilers there too.

Getting hate for talking about a 20year old game on a comment section with a article that talks about the 20year old game with spoilers in the article

" original Snake, aka Big Boss, whose DNA was used to create the clones Solid, Liquid and Solidus"

Quick call 911 IGN spoiled the game

Chard5h ago

Wait til he realises there are people born years after MGS3 released who are now getting into mature gaming

just_looken3h ago

@chard

I was watching robocop before i grew chest hair are you seriously saying people only play M rated games after they turn 17?

Chard3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

@just_looken
That’s not what I’m saying at all.
Im referring to the weird conclusion you jumped to, which is that anyone who hasn’t played MGS3 by now took too long and are also weak for being bothered by spoilers this long after the original release.

Plenty of people without chest hair will try this remake as their first exposure to MGS3. It’s not somebody’s fault or weakness if they were born in 2010 and had better things to do than play MGS3 prior to this remake. The world doesn’t revolve around you

Have an agree, if people haven't bothered playing a 20 year old game and get mad at spoilers then they should stay out of enthusiast posts.

just_looken3h ago

Right and this article has series/game spoilers

Yui_Suzumiya5h ago

I'll call the WHAMBULANCE for the down voters, lol

just_looken3h ago

Right? like wow perhaps i should post about the gta 3 story in the next article get hate there for spoiling that game.

SimpleDad5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

You really are something. Not only does a world turn around you, but you also are sensitive to 5 dislikes.
Who is weak now?
All remakes are done to bring in a new audience and make new money.
Why would you spoil a game or any kind of media for whatever reason If You experienced it?

Ohhh for your Youtube channel... there it is.

Jesus... imagine if someone commented your gameplay. Badly...

My boys will experience this remake for the first time.

just_looken3h ago

1. Its not the dislikes its many post's on this site and other's always the haters or like you mad about spoilers on old old games.

2. My youtube channel is older that most "gamers" today i lost alot of vids do too youtube bots and yourself has no proof even playing any of the games so go ahead post away on stuff you have no idea how to play.

3. My header is real i used to make a few k or more a month or more with mahcinima when bf/gta/halo/world of tanks were in there prime.Now there is just few vids here there

MeteorPanda4h ago

love it.

Just remember while this game came out years ago, theres a whole generation f gamers who would have never played it. it wasn't current for them.

So the remasters are aimed at bringing in new fans of the franchise, posting these may spoil it for some.

just_looken3h ago

The article literally has spoilers in it who the boss's kid is the eva relationship and entire series information you only get by playing the games.

Personally DMC3 is my favorite prequel. MGS3 is top 3 though next to Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Kinda surprised Red Dead 2 isn't IGN's pick for best prequel.

just_looken7h ago

Its red dead revolver red dead redemption red dead redemption 2

I am still waiting for a way to turn off kingdom hearts looping music but the collection is cheap on amazon for those wanting 2 play the games.

franwex6h ago

My favorite prequel is Yoshi’s Island.

Yui_Suzumiya5h ago

Dan Salvato's favorite game to speed run

Ever? So much nopes to this. Also, IGN licks feat for $.

Fallout Shelter is still great, but it deserves a sequel

When Fallout Shelter was originally released, a lot of people quickly fell in love with it. The game is addicting, as you expect any good mobile game to be. That said, it could definitely be improved with a sequel.
