微软欧洲主管包括 Xbox 在内硬件业务的 Chris Lewis 将在数周内离开任职 25 年的公司。他以前的成绩包括 Xbox 360 在欧洲重要的英国市场最终击败 Wii、PS3。

目前 Xbox One 欧洲市场进展不顺利，虽然首发附赠 FIFA 14 或者 Forza 5，在多个索尼优势国家的销售都远远落后于 PS4 主机。

The Xbox executive, who overseas publishing operations across Europe, is departing to focus on "other business interests", according to MCV.

He will resign from the company in a matter of weeks while Microsoft finds a replacement.

Lewis joined Microsoft in 1989 and was the head of Xbox in the UK when the first console launched in 2002.

Under his stewardship the Xbox 360 business thrived in the UK. The console became the best-selling system of the generation across Britain - overtaking the Wii in 2013 and outstripping the PS3 by roughly a third.

Xbox 360 also routinely represented the biggest share of sales for all the major multiplatform console games in the UK.

The situation is now more challenging for Microsoft. The PS4 is leading in terms of hardware sales across the UK and Europe, whilst Sony's new console now appears to be representing the majority of software sales too (nearly two-thirds of Tomb Raider Definitive Edition were purchased on PS4 in the UK).

Phil Harrison, a key Microsoft executive based in the UK, still manages the studios and development side of the business across Europe.

"Since joining Microsoft as one of the first UK employees in 1989, Chris has made significant contributions across the partner, enterprise and retail businesses," said Xbox head Yusuf Mehdi.

"He has been a distinguished leader for our Xbox team in Europe - overseeing the launch of the original Xbox, Xbox 360, Kinect and most recently Xbox One, and growing the business significantly across the region.

"Following that success, Chris has now chosen to retire from Microsoft and focus on his other business and personal interests. We wish Chris nothing but the best, and we thank him for everything he's contributed to Xbox and Microsoft as a whole over the past 25 years."

干不下去跑路了

不算笨到家，等形势更糟糕再辞职，履历就更不好看了，聪明的话发售前就该辞职

明智啊
树倒猢狲散

众叛亲离的节奏

任职25年的老同志都走了。。。且慢，他的老板是Phil Harrison？这有点欺人太甚吧。
