Peter Moore @ EA = Bad News For Sony?

If Peter Moore has control over EA. What if he adjusted the whole company as an Xbox 360 exclusive party?

There would be no recovery for Sony.

i dont think he would be able to show favoritism to the previous employer

besides he is only going to run EA sports and i am sure if he tries to pull a bunch of okie dokes EA has numerous qualified people that can easily take his place

A) HE was just doing his job over at MS, which was trying to make the 360 more popular than the other brands. B) It would be suicide for EA to cut out such a large segment of the market.

You never know. They could attempt it. By the way things have gone the past few years or so, nothing's beneath Microsoft.

Money is king, the more they make the better, THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN, it would be suicide for EA to even attempt it, i could see maybe a game or two if that but not everything

1. He hasn't control over EA. He is the boss at EA SPORTS.

2. He isn't a fanboy. He is a business man.

He probably got the job because he has been in the gaming business for a long time and has a good relationship with the big Three (Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft).

He is getting paid $550k a year with a performance incentive for another $450k. A 1.5 mill signing contract if he stays with the company 2 years and over 3 mill dollars worth of EA stock. You really think he cares about these stupid little fanboy arguments on the web? He's out to make $$$$$. Thats all its about.

But then again, they could shell out nothing but crap on every other system and make it all superior on the 360 to basicly force people to get a 360 moreless. I mean you can't say they won't pull something like this....

If I paid you 1.5 million dollars to care about my company, EA, first and foremost and make us profitable...

Then... You blatantly put me second to MS just so you could help out your "old" company even though they aren't paying your monthly paycheck anymore...

I would fire your butt in a second. I'm pretty sure this is FANTASY because he's not that dumb.

In fact, what reason would he have to risk his career to act as a secret agent of Microsoft?

im pretty sure peter moore is mature enough to do his job to the best of his abilities and not show favoritism to his old employer. and if he does, i doubt ea would but up with it. they are in the business of making money and cutting out a half of your profits does not do that. i think he did a fantastic job at ms and will most probably do a good job at ea.

Or he was pushed out by MS and harbors an agenda against them. That's silly to think that he would hold a fanboy alliance to 360 and all on his own, push EA towards MS. In fact, u'd be an idiot to think so.

And why would EA consent to this? .. or Moore himself? For fanboy reasons?

I think it will be more interesting to see how Peter Moore's attitude to the PS3 is going to change, now that it's in his interest to praise it

No, that would never happen. Peter Moore doesn't work for Microsoft anymore. He works for EA. :-P He doesn't care about the 360 succeeding so much anymore. He wants to make money, he doesn't care about which console he makes it on.

From Gamespot:

[UPDATE 2] Moore's move was also greeted with kind words from a former archrival. Sony Computer Entertainment America president Jack Tretton issued a statement warmly welcoming Moore to EA Sports, which develops a range of PS3 titles. "We wish Peter the best of luck in his new role at Electronic Arts and look forward to working with him," he said. "We have an outstanding relationship with EA and their sports products have been incredibly successful on all our platforms. I am sure this will continue with Peter now at the helm."

Obviously Our new buddy Jack Tretton thinks its good news! Then again, he works with chewbaka, so anything is an improvement.
