I'm sure that Andrew House will be named the new Representative and Chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment. Just don't let him have too much time on the E3 stage though.

Well that sure was a baity title aimed at the reactionary. It's almost like a thread title 3½ years ago saying "Obama leaves Illinois Senate Seat"...

Anyone with sense knew that it was not only inevitable but maybe even overdue. Dude got a promotion! SCE is small potatoes now compared to what he's responsible for now. Kind of non-news when you think about it. News will be who will assume the role now, which is weird that wasn't already decided and announced to coincide with this as is typical in situations like this.

It was the original article title, I decided to stick with it to draw in viewers for my threads.

Misleading title. People need to learn how to read before commenting. Kaz had too many titles and positions within Sony so he decided to let go of a few. He is still President and CEO.

Who said the opposite?

It seems like plenty of people, according to some of the posts in this thread.

Maybe Sony should get Bobby Kotick to head SCE. He certainly knows how to make a profit.

Ughhhh, I can already hear Kotick announcing Uncharted 8 at E3 2017.

You might want to provide links. I went over all the posts and none said that he wasn't President and CEO (i.e. the opposite).
