Marc Whitten leaves Microsoft for Sonos

Microsoft announced today that Marc Whitten, the Chief Product Officer of Xbox has left the company for the same position with Sonos.  Marc was around for the launch of every Xbox console and was one of the most visible members of the Xbox leadership team over the last 14 years. 

I had the chance to meet with Marc a few times over the year and listen to him speak on the Xbox division and he was always candid, open, and honest in talking about the strengths and weaknesses of the division.  It's going to be weird to have an E3 where we don't get a letter from Marc outlining the current Microsoft strategy but I'm sure he'll do a great job with Sonos.
