Wow, that's like a two piece. Leaving Sony for Atari.

Actually this makes sense now, Peter Moore pulled the same stuff during his departure from Microsoft. Atari just recently stated that they would be making games for the Wii and DS, with WiiWare being a major focus. This explains why he was talking up Nintendo during GDC. It must have been known and planned well before GDC took place.

As for his 40% comment that also made no sense.... Well now that makes sense as well...



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Is it me, or does it seem like Kaz Hirai is taking over the company... ...first he took Krazy Ken's job, now he's taking Phil's as well - are there any other openings at Sony he would like to fill?????


Yes.

From the way the secretary staff gossips anyway!

Yeah, I went there.



hopefully this will cut down on some of the bad PR spin



 

well Phil could easily save Atari. which is a good thing.

Well after his praise for the Wii, it won't be strange to see more Atari games getting released for the Wii.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

A shame to see him go. He was definitely one of the smarter execs in the gaming industry. Sounds like he was head-hunted by Atari.

When the PS3 comes down to a mass market price, Sony are gonna be hurting for a casual gaming guy like Harrison.



Now, I said in the original thread (when Phil made those comments about Wii in GDC) that I like the fact he can speak his mind even though I don't agree with him

NOw I take my comment back.

I don't respect him at all. those old comments of him were obviously politically driven. Sorry Phil, good knowing ya, you could've left with better attitude.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

 Not by Atari, by Nintendo, Atari is just a cover-up for his non-competition provision. I'm betting one-week ban that Ninty will buy Atari by the end of the year.

 Not gonna happen!  Nintendo would not purchase Atari for an exec...  way too risky and expensive.
