John Schappert left Electronic Arts in 2007 to become one of the headline executives leading the charge on Xbox 360 at Microsoft. If you're struggling to remember who Schappert is, remember back to Microsoft's E3 2009 press conference; he was the host. In a few weeks, however, Schappert is leaving Microsoft to rejoin EA again.
Schappert will be replacing John Pleasants as EA's chief operating officer. EA's press release did not specify where Pleasants is headed next. Pleasants was last in the news for accidentally leaking word about Criterion Games' upcoming Need For Speed game and acknowledging that Battlefield 3 was currently in development.
“After nearly two decades working in or around this company," said Schappert in the official release, I’ve got EA in my blood. This is a team that is intensely focused on quality and innovation. I’m looking forward to rejoining EA as Chief Operating Officer and helping grow the business on new platforms and in new markets.”
The transition isn't happening immediately, nor has a replacement been announced. Schappert will re-join the EA team on July 14. It's hard to say how this will affect anyone -- any thoughts?

This guy leaving doesnt mean that MS is a "sinking ship" by any stretch. These wafflers are just not used to doing real work. This guy and Peter Moore left to go back to EA to continue slaping incremental numbers on yearly non-innovative releases. Whats so innovative about that Mr. Padilla?

good one, shooter!
now i could be a d bag like other people and say "rats leaving a sinking ship" but that would be beneath me. Execs switch companies all the time

@ Mr. Padilla;
Why is it that whenever I come up with a witty, uneducated-but-funny-to-me remark, you always have to bitch slap me back into my place? :)

It's not the first time executives have bounced between both, and I'm not just talking about Peter Moore. Don Mattrick was at EA well before he was pretending to look surprised by Hideo Kojima at press conferences.
Ah, executive musical chairs. Always fun to watch.

@IcemanMX You're completely discounting the work EA does with EA Partners. The company works with a lot of fantastic developers and offers quite a few games that would be classified as quality and/or innovative.

the look of sony's motion control was probably just a prototype....personally im looking forward to sony's a bit more but i do think that natal will be pretty cool depending on how they implement it with certain games
DreamingDarklyRobin
This article has nothing to do with motion control at all.
Please stop fighting here.

the dildo does spell failure, if there gonna make a remote make it look cool ,instead of a dildo
T_Rexx
freakin dildo doesn't spell failure.
If you had watch the presentation you wld have notice the power and potential of SONY'S motion sensor for gaming when compared to M$.
codered1212
natal and sonys motion sensing will both fail
natal will just have you running around the room making you look like a jackass
sonys motion sensing remote looks like a freakin dildo
and if this motion sensing keeps on continuing for console gaming, ill be 100% pc gamer
this motion sensing thing will be a bigger ripoff than macs

@crackingcody:
Am not the one leaving M$, for a team that is intensely focused on quality and innovation.
Get pissed with your Exec Schappert... He's tired of M$ failures and People like you calling in to make complaints about your 3fixme.
And with a Natal failure looming on the horizon, he's saying
no more no more... "free at last free at last"
Go in peace Mr. Schappert my friend. lol
OldBoyGamer
no dumb ass he goin to get more $$$$$ at EA ... it all comes down to $$$$$$$
crackingcody
Natal will definitely work and the stupid sony controllers will bomb. sucks for sony and T Rexx

"...I’ve got EA in my blood. This is a team that is intensely focused on quality and innovation. I’m looking forward to rejoining EA as Chief Operating Officer..."
............................ .............................. .......
WOW !!! M$ not innovative for Schappert. I guess they didn't want to listen to his concerns about the disaster "Natal" wld be for gamers. lol

Only one Mr. Klepek;
When Mr. Schappert said "...a team that is intensely focused on quality and innovation." are you SURE that he was talking about EA and not some other company that ACTUALLY focuses on quality and innovation?
