Microsoft Fires Xbox One CEO for Poor Decisions and Vision


Well, if you are a gamer, then you know that Sony PS4 kicked Microsoft Xbox one ass at E3.  Microsoft got too greedy and lacked the vision to stay competitive.

Sony marketing and business development team won against Microsoft in every area, so like any business that is on the point of going bankrupt, Microsoft fired the CEO.

According to Bloomberg, "Windows boss Julie Larson-Green is set to take charge of Microsoft's hardware division, including the Xbox.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is set to announce a management reshuffle next week, with Larson-Green in line to oversee the division in charge of producing the Xbox One and Surface tablets. 

Bloomberg also reports that Skype president Tony Bates is being lined up to manage acquisitions and relationships with Microsoft software developers but that the potential restructuring isn't finalised and is subject to change"

Don Mattrick was reported to have been lined up for the position, before departing Microsoft to work for Zynga as its CEO. 
Larson-Green has worked at Microsoft for 19 years and has overseen the launch of Windows 7 and its more controversial successor, Windows 8. She also led the visual redesign introduced in Microsoft Office 2007, and her earlier work at the company saw her working on Internet Explorer 3.0 and 4.0.
