Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Andrew House steps down, John Kodera appointed president and CEO

Andrew House – Chairman, Sony Interactive Entertainment

“I’m tremendously proud of what we’ve built with PlayStation and Sony Interactive Entertainment: entertaining millions globally with the best in games and creating a fully fledged digital entertainment company. PlayStation has been a huge part of my life for more than 20 years, but with the business having achieved record-breaking success, now seemed to be the right time for me to pursue new challenges. I shall always treasure the friendships and people that have made SIE such a wonderful place to work. I’m also grateful to PlayStation fans and gamers around the world for their loyalty and support. John and the team at SIE are world-class and I know the future of PlayStation is very bright.”

I feel nothing...



Hey, leave while you're ontop. Good for him.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

He did a great job. Honestly, he showed how to not only win, but how to do it quietly. Sony absolutely crushed Microsoft in the console department. It was purely business and someone is going to have to study his work at Sony and how it led him to where the brand is today.



He had nice facial hair

Wow! After all the negitive talk last week I am not surprised. Glad he stepped down. Hope the new guy has motivation to expand the platform.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Good time for him to step down.

Looks like he recognized Switch and took his leave in order to not have to deal with the challenge.

The only switch he was probably thinking about was when he flipped his office lights off as he was walking out. 



I liked Andrew. Always went about his business and did not try to be in the spotlight constantly.
He just seemed like a sincere person and great to have as part of the company.
