Ready. Set. And let your jaw drop…..now.

.
Phil Harrison, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS) will resign on February 29th. Harrison has been with Sony since 1992, when he joined Sony Electronics Publishing. That Sony branch later evolved into Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Says Harrison:

“The past 15 years at Sony Computer Entertainment has been the defining journey of my life so far. I am grateful to all the PlayStation family for their incredible support, guidance and friendship. It has been a privilege to serve as part of the team and be inspired by them on a daily basis. I am so proud of everything PlayStation has achieved and will continue to support its future in every way I can.”


And let the rumors begin on why Phil is leaving but if one had to guess, it would be to the fact that he has indeed seemed unhappy at Sony Japan as of late. Of course, when it comes to these things, we can never know the true nature but I do hope a large some of ca$h was involved! And of course, by that, I mean, I hope he can further expand his creativity and efficiency there….Just dont you dare forgot who made you a man! (and no, not your mother). Oh yea and ummm…Jack Tretton and Kaz Hirai….we love you? (feels insecure now)
