Where has J. Allard been?

He wasn't at e3, was he?

It seems Moore was in the MS spotlight this year... Perhaps Allard has been pigging out ever since 360 launched, and has lost his "fashion sense" once more?

Allard, where are you? :o
 
I think they realized that his skills would best be left to managing the engineering side rather than being a forced puppet for the market side. It's pretty clear from the Peter Moore interview about Allard that the issue's not all rainbows and smiling Nintendogs.

What do you mean? Which interview in particular?

I'm interested. Has he lost his cool edge?

Here's the part of interest:

Where's J Allard?

J was just, umm. J was doing a BMX event or something. I don't know. He's back in Redmond now.

It's just that he's been MIA since launch.

J's working hard. J runs the platform. J has his engineers. He's been working hard on Live updates and what have you. Live as a platform is something something to J.

It's just that the difference from pre-launch, where we saw him in the ourcolony video. He was the face of the Xbox 360.

Remember, you were there Tuesday right? I started off saying we had an organizational change. I run the business from the point of view what people have to do. One thing it means is a singular face. One thing we figured out was that the J/Robbie/Peter thing probably wasn't working. J's incredibly busy. J is one of smartest guys on the face of the Earth, and developing platforms is what he does. From that point of view ... I don't know. J's a very active young man and ... snowboarding season's over.

There's a rumor that he's maybe working on the Xboy, a portable Xbox.

I think J was actually on the grassy-knoll in '63 in Dallas.

Was he also responsible for hiding all those Xboxes at Area 51?

He actually hid the E.T. cartridges, that's how far back he goes.

I still want to know what this guy's first name is.

J sounds dumber than the name could possibly be.

I will always refer to him as Allard and not J.

I like Moore better as a spokes man.
 
Pretty sure it was legally changed to J after he had his whole image transformation stage.
 
J is edgy? I'm intrigued!

Didn't read that article but I heard that J Allard is heading up the Zune division now. So he's not really involved with Xbox anymore.

I'm sure he will lead the next generation xbox project again. He's also still involved in new live and xna developments as far as I'm aware

me too. but we had a very bizarre hate thread about this kind of look. it was pretty disturbing - plenty of insults and disgust at what many people seem to consider the "bum look".
