Former EA Exec Kudo Tsunoda Joins Microsoft

According to new media reports independently confirmed by Gamasutra, the flamboyant Kudo Tsunoda, former head of EA's now-closed Chicago Studio (Def Jam: Icon, Fight Night series) has accepted a new position with Microsoft Game Studios.

A report in a new GameTap Read article indicates an anonymous Microsoft staffer is reported as confirming that Tsunoda has joined Microsoft; further, the report suggests that he is working, presumably in an oversight/production role, at a new Gears of War title for the company.

Independent sources have confirmed to Gamasutra that this move is part of an in-progress re-organization from Microsoft senior vice president Don Mattrick, who took over for Peter Moore in 2007 after a stint at EA.
