Disney video game executive to leave post

Media company Walt Disney Co said on Monday it had reorganized its interactive unit, which houses video games and online properties, and that Co-President John Pleasants will leave his current post. Disney said it consolidated the unit's video game and media groups under Jimmy Pitaro, the division's other co-president. The interactive unit reported a profit for the quarter that ended in September, earning $16 million after losing $76 million a year ago, partially on sales of its ambitious new Disney Infinity console game. Disney shares slipped 0.4 percent to $68.31 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday.
