Phil Harrison is today announcing plans to leave Sony. Harrison is the company’s head of worldwide studios and has been instrumental in PlayStation’s development for 15 years.
AT 10AM UK TIME NEXT-GEN WILL PUBLISH AN EDITORIAL ON HARRISON’S SHOCK DEPARTURE. Phil Harrison, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, will resign from Sony Computer Entertainment Group as of February 29, 2008, the company has announced. Kazuo Hirai, president and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, will immediately assume responsibilities as president of SCE Worldwide Studios, in addition to his current duties. Harrison joined Sony Electronics Publishing (later Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) in 1992 prior to the launch of the original PlayStation, and has since played a key strategic role in the launch of four PlayStation platforms, as well as building strong relationships with game developers and publishers globally. Harrison led SCE’s first party game development operations and aggressively pursued the development of new online entertainment experiences. “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 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 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.” ==> How do you think it will affect Sony ? A new start for them ? or the beginnig of the end ? Personnaly, I liked him.

Time to Work !

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Shaking my head in disbelief. But it really does serve Sony right. They're making a fatal mistake, I geuss its evident that Sony doesnt know whats in best interest to the public and the gamers.

Its about time some one starts sending death threats to Sony HQ. Fucking retards.

Wow. I wonder if this is linked to his comments about the casual stuff at GDC? If they fired him that's pretty harsh.

I Blame Wii Fit!

""Okay, Im officially considering buying a 360, just cause I know this means that Sony doesnt know what they're doing anymore. How could you be so ignorant and let your best PR man go? If this guys leaves Sony then its seriously has mean something aint right at Sony's HQ.""

==> come on Rukusa,
we have not access of what is happening inside Sony
Phil Harrison has a good presentation, I liked him, but who knows who wil succeed to him and what will be the consequence.
