He will probably step down of his own volition. I am probably in the minority in thinking that he was coerced into taking the position in the first place. I think once his one year anniversary arrives he will feel that he will have done his duty, and he will force the issue with the board. Either falling on his sword publicly, or quietly receding back into the rank and file. I just don't think at that point he will feel obligated to name no for a answer.
In answer to your second question about who would replace him. You might think me crazy for suggesting it, but I think they might tap Crazy Ken for the position. There are a lot of reasons to do so, but the biggest reason of all is that he is expendable. I am thinking at that point he might be the only one that could be convinced to take the job. Nobody outside of Sony will want the job, and nobody in Sony with real future prospects will want the job.
