Sony Computer Entertainment gave a surprising announcement in the form of the resignation of Phil Harrison, effective February 19th. The President of Sony Computer Entertainment World Wide Studios will be replaced by Kaz Hirai, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment International.
Phil Harrison has been a great asset and a great public speaker for Sony since the retirement of the father of all PlayStation, Ken Kutaragi. But the new appointment of Kaz Hirai will make 2008 an interesting year for the PlayStation brand.
As one of the founding members of SCE, Phil played a key role in the development and growth of the PlayStation business and our industry," said Kazuo Hirai. "It is sad to see him departing from SCE, but I wish to express my gratitude for his many invaluable contributions and also wish Phil the very best of luck in his future endeavors."
"The past 15 years at Sony Computer Entertainment has been the defining journey of my life so far," said Phil Harrison. "I am grateful to all the PlayStation family for their incredible support, guidance and friendship. It has been a privilege to serve as part of the team and be inspired by them on a daily basis. I am so proud of everything PlayStation has achieved and will continue to support its future in every way I can."
