Seattle - Kevin Bachus, a former top Xbox executive at Microsoft, has announced his resignation as CEO of Infinium Labs, the developer of an unreleased video game console he joined in December 2003. "I'd like to thank Kevin for his past support and wish him well with his future endeavors," said Greg Koler, who was named interim CEO, CFO, president and a director of Infinium. "A lot of that support has helped put our operational planning on track and has helped create awareness for the company in the industry." Koler was previously general manager of Gemstar-TV Guide's European Infomedia unit, and was a founding director of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Seattle-based Infinium Labs was slated to release its "Phantom" PC-based broadband gaming service in the fall of 2004, but numerous delays have pushed the release to at least mid-2006.
