Phil Spencer is the new head of Xbox
"In this new job, Phil will lead the Xbox, Xbox Live, Xbox Music and Xbox Video teams, and Microsoft Studios," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella writes in an email to employees. "Combining all our software, gaming and content assets across the Xbox team under a single leader and aligning with the OSG team will help ensure we continue to do great work across the Xbox business, and bring more of the magic of Xbox to all form factors, including tablets, PCs and phones."
In February, Microsoft appointed former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop as the head of its Devices and Services division, which included Xbox. Elop is now officially EVP, Microsoft Devices Group, reporting directly to Nadella.
Former Xbox Chief Product Officer Marc Whitten left Microsoft in mid-March for a similar gig with Sonos, a home audio company.

I had a feeling that they would promote someone internally. The Xbox has been pretty successful with the Xbox 360 and it will be interesting to see if he will try anything different to boost the sales of the Xbox One.

Well if that's the best you got Jager then I feel sorry for you.
Good luck to Phil Spencer, hopefully E3 will blow us away.
Also, the 360 games with gold has been announced, it's Hitman Absolution and then Deadlight.
