I think Kaz will do good cause the execs in Japan listen to him. Sony is too disjoint right now. As was mentioned before, good or bad, Stringer really couldn't do anything for the company cause each division could make their own decision and as you can see, weren't the best of decisions. Sony's biggest problem are the execs in Japan and I feel Kaz can reign them in under control and unify the company.

You really want this many out of work because of some stupid console / company preference?
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Man Rol, u looove to hate on the Vita. There's no denying its a solid piece of hardware, even if u do have bias due to love for another company. Come on, get out of denial and just admit it already!
Oh, and OT: I hope Kaz has the turnaround magic Sony needs. It seems like he believes in some strong, positive concepts (e.g. making sure future Sony consoles are easy to develop for), but I fear the changes he brings wont be different or drastic enough.
Good decision, as Kaz is very competent.
But whos gonna replace him as head of Playstation? It will be hard for whoever replaces him to be as good.

Dear valued consumers, I’m Kaz Hirai. You may have heard of me. Most likely what you heard was something related to Ridge Racer. You may be surprised to know I do much more than shout the names of mid 90’s arcade racing games. I am also a successful businessman and will become the CEO of Sony on April 1st. No, it is not an April Fools Joke; the fact we were the company that released Adam Sandler’s “Jack and Jill” proves we don’t really get jokes at Sony. I think I will make a great CEO. I can’t say for sure because Sony doesn’t have a time machine (if we did we would have not released the PSP Go). However, I do feel I proved why I should be CEO when I was Head of Sony Computer Entertainment: I lead the division to great successes like the PlayStation Move and the Japanese launch of PS Vita. So once I get my giant hands on the job, what will I do? I have decided to tell you, our valued consumers, what I will do first. Why you and not the other Sony executives? Because I believe the C in CEO stands for “Caring for our consumers”. Well, I did before I actually bothered to look up CEO in a dictionary. These are my first 4 ideas: We have successfully launched the world into 3D, our next step is to push technology into 4D. Ever wondered what the football match you’re watching on TV smells like? No, you probably haven’t. But you will after we have aggressively marketed our “Bravia Smellevision Television” in 2014. Our figures show that our most commercially successful movies feature Spiderman. Going forward all Sony Pictures films will feature Spiderman regardless of genre or subject matter. Old successful Sony pictures like “The Social Network” will have a BluRay/DVD rerelease with Spiderman put into the film using CGI We will launch a rival to Twitter called the “Sony Microblogging Service” or SMS for short. We intend to outdo Twitter by allowing messages of 141 characters instead, a whole 1 character more than regular Twitter! We will finally get the original Ridge Racer released on PSN. That’s not for business reasons, I just really, really like Ridge Racer. These are just some of the ideas I will bring as CEO. Hopefully they will help us make a profit; the book “Being a CEO for Dummies” tells me that is a good thing for a business. Ultimately, if by the end of me reign consumers stop saying “this Sony product is overpriced” and start saying “this Sony product is overpriced but I will buy it anyway” I will consider my time as CEO as successful. Yours sincerely, Future President and CEO Kaz Hirai P.S. If you want to buy me a present to congratulate me on my promotion, why not buy something from the Sony Store? P.P.S. You can stop with the Ridge Racer jokes now. Please." source : http://kazhiraiceo.posterous.com/a-letter-to-our-valued-consumers-please-rt |
