Story here

Microsoft Game Studio head Shane Kim has been promoted to the newly created role of vice president of strategy and business development, while interactive global marketing VP Jeff Bell has resigned, the company announced today.

I doubt this affects anything, but there it is.

I'm not the greatest fan of Shane Kim. He seems to lack vision and be a master of meaningless corporate speak imo.

You just knew Shane Kim was not going to work out after he trolled a guy on Neogaf via PM

Bell was meh... Kim isn't that much better. I miss Moore and the bald guy.

Shane Kim was responsible for dropping Psychonauts and Oddworld Stranger. I will never stop holding that against him.

So do I. J and Peter were really cool and very passionate. Seems like they need a better shake-up.

So who's left to do the E3 press conference? Mattrick? I havent heard hide or hair from him since Moore left.

At least Kim seems pretty sincere.

There's a bunch of other VPs who may deliver the E3 press conference. Depending on what will be stressed during the presentation, LIVE VP John Schappert may show up, Brian Tobey or J Allard may show if there's some HW news or it may be just Kim, Mattrick and Bach. Or whoever else, hell knows. But yeah, J+Moore+Bach were able to deliver some good stuff. Current VPs seem pretty... formal. :/

Aron Greenburg seems to be one of the main new faces of Xbox, suddenly.

I'm pretty sure it's Aaron Greenberg (mountain) not Aron Greenburg (city). ;-)
