It has been announced that Marc Whitten, Chief Product Officer of Xbox, will be leaving Microsoft to become Chief Product Officer of Sonos. Whitten is a true veteran at the Xbox team having joined the group before the launch of the original Xbox back in 2000.

"Xbox is so special because of the amazing team I've had the opportunity to work with and because our fans are the most incredible fans on the planet. It has been the highlight of my career to work on a product so loved. It's incredibly tough to leave but I am confident the best days are ahead for Xbox fans, in the capable hands of a very talented team."
Whitten also posted a brief "personal letter" on the Xbox Newswire.
