Well, this is bittersweet. On the one hand it's a shame that he's leaving PlayStation. But on the other it's great that he's leaving to make games.

Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

He doesn't make games. He's just a talking head.

Wants to return to making games, can't fault him on that goal, he is a damn good pr man though Sony will have a task to replace him I think.

Wish him all the best though, he always comes off as a really nice guy.
