Forums - Sony - Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Dissolved

Porcupine_I on 01 April 2013

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, Sony Computer Entertainment Asia, and Sony Computer Entertainment Pan-Asia are being dissolved as of today, according to an official statement [via] from Sony this morning. Asia and Pan-Asia are also being dissolved.

In their place is a new company, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia, which will be headed up by President Hiroshi Kawano. We’re awaiting a proper English translation, but it seems the goal was to provide new management structure and support with a focus on publishing and development.

And no, it’s not an April Fools, even Shuhei Yoshida took to Twitter to confirm the news.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

At first I was like "Ahh 1st of April"
Then I saw the Twitter account and now I am confused.

Damn I hate this day.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Does this change anything much?

No. It wouldn't change anything much if they closed it altogether.

MERGED!!! Please change the title to not look like April Fool.

SCEJ + SCEASsia = SCEJA

And not April Fools.

PS. There are no April Fools in Japan... not this time of the year.
