OptimusPS Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 As you will have seen today in the news , I have announced my retirement after nearly 30 years at Sony Interactive Entertainment. I did not take this decision lightly and I absolutely love SIE and our community, but of late I’ve been finding it increasingly difficult to strike the right balance between having my home in the UK and my job in the United States. As mentioned in the press release, I will continue my role as President and CEO until March 2024. Effective April 1, 2024, Hiroki Totoki will be appointed Interim CEO of SIE while he continues his current role at Sony Group Corporation. I feel humbled at having the opportunity to lead a company delivering products that touch millions of lives. From award-winning games to the incredibly immersive technical achievements delivered with PlayStation 5, I’m immensely proud of what we have achieved and very optimistic for the future of Sony Interactive Entertainment. From my beginning in Europe, it was clear that Sony had built something truly special. Generations later I am still amazed by the excitement and passion of the PlayStation community. It is thanks to you that we have been able to keep innovating and delivering even greater experiences. Since 1994, generations of gamers have inspired us to be better, to push the boundaries, and the results have been incredible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 1 PLAYSTATION 5 Disc Version - SONY A80J OLED 77 Zoll - Nintendo Switch - Gaming PC "Don't be sorry. Be better."

raphurius Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 (edited) Bei dem ganzen Hate den Jim Ryan ständig abkriegt von der Community, kann ich seine Entscheidung mehr als nachvollziehen. Klar war nicht alles Gold, doch die Ungeduld und Unzufriedenheit einiger Leute ist heut zu Tage echt anstrengend. Manche kriegen den Hals einfach nicht voll. Ich an seiner Stelle hätte ebenfalls keinen Bock auf die ganze Geschichte. 30 Jahre war er Teil der PlayStation Familie und ich wünsche ihm für die Zukunft, dass er etwas neues spannendes entdeckt, was ihn begeistern kann!

Cat_McAllister Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Ich bin ja Mal gespannt ob Shuhei Yoshida auf Jim Ryan folgt an die Spitze der PlayStation. Ich denke, es wäre dat mit Abstand absolut Beste was der Marke PlayStation nur passieren könnte! Shuhei Yoshida ist ein Gamer und Spiele-Entwickler mit höchster Hingabe, Liebe, Leidenschaft und Herzblut zur Materie und mit Leib und Seele dabei. On to new spheres in the history of Sony PlayStation!!! Go for it, Shuhei Yoshida! Shuhei Yoshida for President at Sony PlayStation!!! =D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
