- Too much focus on PC gaming. Cut that shit out.

 

[M1987]

Had to double check the title, this shit is massive, and it tells me there's a shit storm going on inside Sony headquarters

I doubt it,he's just old,so he probably just wants to retire and enjoy his money

 

[GHG]

Actually, Sony bend leadership never pitched it to Sony. Dg director pitched it to bend leadership who turned it down.

But jimbo and Herman didn’t ask for dg2 either.

Well Jim should have demanded it.

Guess it shows how out of touch he is with the fanbase and generally how new IP progresses and evolves. If it were him in charge at the time I'm pretty sure the first Uncharted never gets a sequel.

Go read the PlayStation Thread Comments if you want to have a good laugh.

Old guy is retiring……

he's retiring. It's his own choice.

 

[SlimySnake]

Finally, hopefully Herman Hulsts useless ass is next.

- Too much focus on PC gaming. Cut that shit out.
- Way too secretive.
- Too much GAAS trash.
- No appearances at ANY major gaming shows.
- No PlayStation Showcases.

How do I apply for the job?

Literally anyone here would be better at this job than jim Ryan. Even riky who wouldn’t be able to half the damage as a sleeper agent than jimbo has done.

Remember 2.5 years between first party next Gen games. Shocking.

 

[Gaelyon]

Don't worry guys the next CEO will be much worse.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Need to see skizzles reaction.

 

[TVexperto]

Todd created a game so good that made Jim Ryan quit!

True story!

 

[gooner4life_uk]

Whoever replaces him has to understand the importance of Mark Cerny as the architect of the PlayStation consoles.

Days Gone is pants. If he had demanded it, he would have been fired instead of retiring.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

 

[BaneIsPain]

Farewell Jimbo

 

[SSfox]

Is this true? If so, thats excellent news in my book.

Yes, but it seems just temporary for now. Hopefully someone that doesn't suck too much, especially not that fucking Hermen Hulst the PC fanboy

 

[Guntherlibby]

The new CEO is a CFO.....generally CFO's make extremely shitty penny pinching CEO's that will nickel and dime their customers.

[Sanepar]

Thanks god! He knows they are fucked. They need a genius on that chair bring Peter Moore.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Can i has gold pls instead of soda? kekw.

I'm so happy with the news that I won't give the gold... I'll give the ONE PIECE!!!

 

[StereoVsn]

Wow! Wonder who will take his place. Hermen?

 

[JokerMM]

This but unironically
Shuhei is perfect

 

[64bitmodels]

Go read the PlayStation Thread Comments if you want to have a good laugh.

where is this?

 

[Del_X]

Sony is the leader in the "core" console audience and their margins trail Microsoft's Xbox. Great probably isn't good enough for the investor class.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Bring on the aliens to destroy the planet, it’s all we deserve with this representation of a human

 

[Thirty7ven]

What the fuck

 

[DeepEnigma]

The new CEO is a CFO.....generally CFO's make extremely shitty penny pinching CEO's that will nickel and dime their customers.

He won't be there long enough to make any real or major decisions.

 

[Fake]

Hope Yoshida get the place.

 

[Represent.]

This would be good. Second best option next to me

 

[Belthazar]

He did a great job, but PlayStation does need a shake up. Hopefully the next one also delivers.

 

[kirby007]

why work long years if you got that ezcash

 

[Kerotan]

What a man did a much better job then Phil but let Phil get all the circle jerking. A true businesses man no need to soothe an ego.

 

[kaizenkko]

People who think this will change Playstation plans for GAAS and stuff like that will be dissapointed very soon.

 

[Punished Miku]

This but unironically
Shuhei is perfect

It will be Jade Raymond.

I predicted this as soon as Haven was acquired.

 

[DryvBy]

apparently Destin doesn’t have access to press releases, or just wants to insinuate to the Xbox fanbase that follows him that they’ve defeated the big bad Jim Ryan?

Destin looks like his single mother drank too much shine while he was in her stomach.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

So long Jim Ryan

 

[Trekinspace88]

Cool now if Phil Spencer retires from MS soon then gaming might have a brighter future then it has right now.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Time to bring back Kevin Butler to be the PR face of PlayStation

 

[Clintizzle]

Xbox is definitely not happy about this.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Goodbye Jimbo. You tried.

 

[Belthazar]

Had to double check the title, this shit is massive, and it tells me there's a shit storm going on inside Sony headquarters

He's retiring and 6 whole months from now. He's just old and wants to enjoy the rest of his life without the weight of being a CEO.

 

[ulantan]

As long as the next one stays quiet like Jim I'll be happy.

 

[bender]

 

[Neofire]

Wow! Wonder who will take his place. Hermen?

Oh God no, he will put everything on pc day one and push the PlayStation release dates back lol.

 

[ByWatterson]

I mean... he was a honest business man at the very least.
But he almost destroyed playstation too

Like they've literally never been more successful.

 

[Stafford]

It was very recently that he made it clear that they were going for more GaaS. And people sure didn't like reading that. This was very recent, and I kinda doubt this would just get scrapped. But it should be interesting to see how this unfolds.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

The position needs someone like Jim Ryan, but it needs a public speaker roll like Kevin Butler, also

 

[Elder Legend]

I'm so happy with the news that I won't give the gold... I'll give the ONE PIECE!!!

wow u lied to us, gg u fucked us noob.

 

[SSfox]

I hope they'll hire a Japanese guy that will insa fire Hermen Hulst

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Will they go with a non Woke Japanese this time around? Or is more woke Westerners their answer to the future?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Goodbye Jimbo. You tried.

The sales are up 200% YoY.
