Since her appointment as president of Xbox, Asha Sharma’s statements and positions have been scrutinized. Unfortunately, misinformation is also circulating about her strategy for the brand.
Insider eXtas1s reported that Sharma had been given a blank check by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to revamp Xbox’s image. This expression is used here to mean that she would have complete freedom over various company policies, such as the return of exclusives, the price of the next console, and much more.
“Asha Sharma has my full trust and has A BLANK CHECK to revive Xbox and the trust of the fans no matter the cost.”
These comments were ultimately denied by Frank X. Shaw, Microsoft’s chief communications officer. Shaw simply stated that this statement was never made.
