I am happy to graduate from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. after introducing four platforms to the PlayStation family. It has been an exciting experience to change the world of computer entertainment by marrying cutting edge technologies with creative minds from all over the world. I'm looking forward to building on this vision in my next endeavour. |

Everyone knows he quit in anticipation of the 360Elite. He is going to devote himself to gettting all 12 achievements in "Root Beer Tapper" on Live in 1080p.

Everyone knows that the 360 Elite is just a PS3 ripoff. They're dropping HD-DVD, and most likely going with BluRay. They're getting a bigger HDD to compete with the 60Gb PS3. Microsoft's starting to sweat. Anyway, I too am glad to see Kazuo "Kaz" Hirai take the helms. He seems like a smart, sensible, all around good guy. I'm not a Sony fanboy, I'm just tired of all the Sony bashing that's been going on. Does it honestly matter which system is better? It's all about fun. If I think I'm going to have more fun with a PS3, why should anyone debate that? It's not like it affects you.
Sorry for getting off-topic, I'm just tired of all the XBOTs.

» about time
How could they possibly do worse than the PS3? His ego got the best of him, and it's like he didn't need to try anymore to make a consumer friendly product.
"They will buy it because it's a Playstation" he said.
Oops! Most people need more of a reason than that to spend $600.

» why he was ever ceo in the first place?
The guy is an engineer, not a paper pushing spokesperson. He should of been sitting behind a desk coming up with the new hardware instead Sony gives him all these high up "CEO" positions. I'm thinking thats why he left, he didn't care about the political side of things, he merely wanted to use his mind to make great technology.

» Good Luck Ken Kutaragi
He's been with Sony for over 14 years. I think its nice that he's moving on to better things whatever that may be. So I think Sony will do just fine with Kaz Hirai stepping up. Ken did a great job with PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 so good luck to him.

» Good luck to him
I think he was given the boot. It's really too bad because of how much he did for Sony. He is the single reason why Sony even has a gaming industry to begin with. Obviously the PS3 must be somewhat of a factor. It's a good system but not $700 good. Anyways he is to Sony what Myamoto is to Nintendo. I wish him good luck in the future.

He will be missed. he helped turn gaming into what it is today, he created some great consoles and should be remembered for that. He let power go to his head but thats not the important thing, he did great things.
