In a move possibly kick started (unconfirmed) by too many Red Rings of Death, Richard Teversham, director of business, insights and strategy for Xbox in Europe and the UK has left the house of Microsoft for an education-related role under the white glow of Apple.

In addition to his role at Xbox, Teversham was also part of the IFSE which handles the PEGI rating system. While it’s unknown if Teversham will continue on with IFSE it’s pretty safe to say the switch to Apple more or less confirms the company’s growing commitment to gaming with the iPhone/iPod Touch becoming rather badass in their own right — it’s ok to touch.
