Next-Gen's TOP25 People of the Year Posted by XanTium | December 14 13:47 EST

Next-Gen published their new yearly list of the top 25 people in the industry. Here are people related to Microsoft/Xbox I found in the list (including the first place!): [QUOTE] This list is not a ranking of the best, most powerful, most talented, most amazing people in the industry. It is a ranking of the people who we at Next-Gen feel have made positive, significant and noteworthy contributions to gaming and the game industry through 2006. 9. Larry Hryb Larry Hryb is better known by his Xbox Live gamertag Major Nelson. He is an authority on all things Xbox, communicating effectively with the core audience through blog and podcast. Neither PR mouthpiece nor corporate rebel, he has managed that trick of engaging consumers without compromising his position as an employee of Microsoft. For Hryb is also director of programming for the Xbox Live product team and for this he is also recognized here; as part of the team that has created one of the wonders of the gaming world. Five years ago Xbox Live would have seemed like science fiction. Now it's an entertainment platform in its own right, and poised to deliver more. 5. Jane Cavanagh (Eidos / SCi) 4. Reggie Fils-Aime (Nintendo) 3. Cliff Bleszinski (Epic Games) 2. Satoru Iwata (Nintendo) 1. Peter Moore We expect our business leaders to display creativity, fiscal acumen, guts and a touch of charisma. But most of all we expect them to deliver. Peter Moore has delivered. That's why he's number one. Xbox 360 has sold as close as needs be to five million consoles in North America in the past 12 months. The best next generation games, currently, are Xbox 360 games. Xbox Live is the most advanced and user-friendly online service. Microsoft has an impressive relationship with publishers and with the media. All this has been achieved by hard graft and smart bets against a backdrop of Microsoft's absolute need to turn a profit in this business, sooner rather than later. The endless trips to Japan to try to make that business work display his capability for hard work, even in the face of seemingly impossible odds. But there is yet more work to be done, and not just in Japan. Microsoft faces a tough year in 2007 as it attempts to hold onto its leadership position while moving into the mass market. But in 2006, his efforts to woo consumers through third party publishing deals and through a savvy media presence makes Moore our pick as Next-Gen's 2006 Person of the Year.
