Apple 
Former Microsoft Marketing Manager for Xbox UK, Robin Burrowes, updated his LinkedIn profile to let folks know that he’s been hired by Apple to help push gaming on iOS.
Burrowes tenure at Microsoft saw him work on Xbox for roughly seven years, where he was most recently responsible for all product, business and marketing management of Xbox LIVE in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. For Apple, he’s the latest in a series of high-profile British gaming recruits, following the hire of Nintendo’s public relation’s chief Robert Saunders last year, as well as Nick Grange — who also at one point ran public relations for Xbox, as well as for gaming heavyweights Activision and Electronics Arts.
Apple has been pretty successful in the mobile gaming realm, especially after the iPad considering the number of high quality games released on Apple’s App Store. Both iOS and Android have overtaken Sony and Nintendo in terms of U.S portable game revenue. 20 Percent of the 550,000 apps in the store are games, so it’s no surprise to see Apple taking a serious look at gaming.
