Yeah, I agree. They should demote Howard Stringer imo, it seems it's not just ken that he's having a problem with but the whole japan division :l.He's the father of Playstation so I believe he should be free to decide everything about it.
^I'm talking about Kutaragi-sama of course.

How can you say that, Sony is here to make money not to make visionary hardware, Stringer is trying to make money, Kutaragi is doing whatever he can to make PS the way HE wants it to be.He's the father of Playstation so I believe he should be free to decide everything about it.

the current PS3 I enjoyed is his creation. Blu-ray and Cell, I'm glad that Kutaragi just went with this no matter what. Because I dont to have my current PS3 with no blu-ray. Howard will certainly take blu-ray out, although it might make more appealing to current market now. But down the line, PS3 will lost it's advantage over XBOX 360, since XBOX 360 is easier to program and have longer online experience.Â
However Kutaragi also suck at third party support. I believe the tremendous success of PSone and PS2 already got to his head. I think this is just a time off for him. He will back when he needed, PS4 maybe.

There's two sides of every story.
People must not forget that they were both candidates to the same post as head of Sony, Howard because he made Sony Pictures the biggest movie studio in North America (financially) and increased BGM's growth rate while Ken was the man behind Sony's most successful product (even bigger than Walkman).
The investors have said a lot bad about Howard lately and called him a bad choice, so it was a rather smart move of him to get rid of his biggest competitor. We should keep in mind that though Sony is doing better financially it's not only because of him, Ken was the man behind re-conquering the TV market with BRAVIA and the the mobile phone sales got nothing to do with Horward either.
People should look into things before opening their mouths.
Kutaragi was the one who made the system $599, that is PS3s main concern right now, so yes, Kutaragi was a little out of touch with reality, Stringer knows what he is doing.chembro84
iunnoo....look at all the good thats come to the ps3 since his removalMiguel16
It's also Ken who gathered all game studios under SCE-WW and made Phil the head CEO.
All Howard has done is to make Kaz the head of SCEI (Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaacer).
Im not the CEO of Sony, and I dont know any of the individuals involved with this...nor do I really know whats going on aside from what you can read in the news...
I dont think its fair to judge his actions as we dont and never will know the whole story.

My thoughts aswell. Perhaps you could post a link so we'll know what you're talking about?...

I agree, but there does come a time where you need a new face to take over. Yes Kutaragi is the reason why Playstation was created, but he may be loosing his touch...
I admire him for putting a ton of work into designing all the Playstation consoles yet, every single one of which I have enjoyed immensly, however, if what Howard Stringer says is true, then he deserved it.
If you are in a higher-up position, you don't suddenly decide to do things without telling the CEO, especially when it comes to one of the most profitable sections of the company.
