That's it, someone make Mark Cerny ceo of Sony.

Because hes good at makeing hardware design choices?
Not sure if that actually makes for a good CEO.

It was joke. Though I'd still give him a chance to run SIE.  

Would be intresting to see what he'd do at the very least.
Guy is like the most super of geeks, even in a field filled with those types.

He clearly loves technology, reading research papers on graphics techniques and technologies.
Hardcore programmer skills, and with his background into the software side of things, it gives him a perphaps slightly differnt perspect, than others in terms of hardware design.

Hes the reason why alot of studios at Sony follow something they call the "the methode proccess".

"Cerny observed that there were completely different approaches needed in the preproduction stage and the production stage of video game development, and that it was impossible to put a timeline on the creative process. He suggested that the pre-production stage should be freeform, allowing the creative persons to explore a game's viability prior to full development. The end product of the preproduction stage under the Method process should be a "publishable first playable" version of the game that can be used to determine the viability of the title. This version does not need to be content-complete but provide enough to be used in playtesting from potential consumers. If the game at this state does not excite players, then the game idea should be set aside before too much effort is put into it. Once the decision is made to move forward on the game, then Cerny recommends by the Method that the typical use of scheduled milestones and deliverables to keep the project on track."
