He is not gonna show up on these events anymore. He manages the whole corporation, not Playstation only. Thats why you get Jack Tretton instead. He is the guy that has Kaz's old job. The gifs should have jack instead of kaz, but i guess people just like Kaz cause he looks devious.

Not really. Jack Tretton is only the CEO of SCEA. Andrew House is the new Kaz Hirai.

OT. I miss him, when House introduced the PS4 it didn't fell right. I'm dissapointed, cause damn, Kaz could have spared like two days to come to L.A. it's not like he can't do his duties while he's abroad.

Oh... i didnt know that. Alright then. I dont like Andrew House so much, he looks disonest to me. Like he is hiding something evil.

I guess he was... for Microsoft! xD

I know what you mean, he just has one of those faces. He seems likable enough though.

Andrew House has Kaz's job. Tretton still has his old job.

So they get Tretton to do most of the hosting, and House shows off the hardware and talks about pricing like Kaz used to.

I think he's cool overall, no Kaz of course. But there was this one embarassing moment on this years E3, when the japanese dude who brought him the PS4 box, and House was like: "come here, take a bow for the crowd". I was like, wtf dude...

So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

I thought that was rather nice of him since the guy was one of the designers of the console

It's interesting that ostensibly the most embarrasing presentation in gaming's history (E3 2006) was the main force in establishing Kaz's very positive popular personality/image.

The fact that he asked the guy to step out of the shadows was cool of course, it was the part when we told him to take a bow that struck me, I mean he's not your son. But maybe it's just me.

ahh alright, I didn't really see that at out of place when I was watching. I interpreted is to come out and show the crowd your baby moment. The bow comment just seemed regular to me.
