Xbox's Don Mattrick promoted

[Deleted User]

Microsoft has promoted Xbox boss Don Mattrick to president of its Interactive Entertainment Business.

Mattrick joined MS in 2007 to lead the company's Interactive Entertainment Business as senior vice president. During his tenure the global Xbox 360 install base has swelled to 42 million units, while Xbox Live now has 25 million users.

As president he'll continue to oversee a number of businesses focused on consumer entertainment including Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Kinect and Zune, as well as PC and mobile interactive entertainment, which were added to his portfolio in May when ex-president Robbie Bach announced his intention to retire.

Alongside Mattrick's promotion, Kurt DelBene was appointed president of the Microsoft Office Division and Andy Lees president of the Mobile Communications Business.

"Today's promotions underscore the strength of Microsoft's collective leadership team and set us up well to execute against a powerful lineup of products this fall," said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

"Not only is the team ready to capitalise on major momentum with our existing products like Office, SharePoint and Halo: Reach, but they are simultaneously bringing entirely new experiences to market with Windows Phone 7 and Kinect for Xbox 360."

Because my standard formatted news submissions that use the general template set to use by everyone are "bad". Okay.

Back on topic, seems kinda irrelevant as a news story, I never heard of this guy until now.
