A lot of Playstation gamers, including myself, identified him with the PS3 Sony, that came across as arrogant and self-important. I don't know how much of that was him, personally, as opposed to the corporate climate, but I like Yoshida and his group a lot more. (c/p from other thread).

Not sure why Iwata is being mentioned, as Jack would be the equivalent of Reggie instead.

lol indeed.  xD

If there was ever a time Jack Tretton wanted to quit then this would be it, he's done his job.

At the risk of repeating myself...

Whys is he leaving I wonder?

Ohh come on, he had one good E3, where he only had to deliver the news, otherwise he did a lot of shitty PR job, not to mention how terrible PS3 performed in the US.

Plus he was the least likeable higher up from SCE, arogant, corporate suit. Someone I would perfectly envision in MS, Apple, or the like, not SCE.

Not happening but could you imagine the meltdowns?

The entire internet would break lol

That was my first thought too. I mean it wouldn't be the frst time to snatch Sony talent.

Big changes at SCEA.

SSM layoffs and cancellations. AH leaving ND. Jack Tretton stepping down.

Maybe he felt it was just the right time to move on. Surely cant be because of sales performance with PS4 breaking every record possible.

To work with Microsoft.
