Sony's Head of U.K. Sales Department suddenly quits!

Sony’s UK head of sales Kevin Jowett has quit – just five weeks from the launch of PlayStation 3 in Europe.
SCE UK commercial director Jowett has been something of a stalwart within the PlayStation division of Sony. He took over as sales director from Doug Goodwin back in 1998 and has played an integral role within the organisation since then, in particular working closely with retailers over stock allocations on PS2, PSP and, more recently, PS3. He has also taken a keen interest in general retail issues such as pricing and the second-hand games market.

MCV understands that Jowett has resigned to pursue new opportunities outside of the games industry and has left the company immediately, due to confidentiality issues.

Something smells fishy to me. This is way too close to the European and PAL launch......This guy was a major success for the PS2 in Europe. Loosing him is a rather big blow for Sony, especially this close to the European launch.....Perhaps he's smelling something rotten too? IMO, this is a case of "Get out while you can" situation and he bailed!

so he quit... what does it mean other than he has no job now?l1mIt

When people pursue other opportunities in many cases this means he found another position else where.

1 lol 2. your sig disturbs meSmashBrosLegend

LOL, damn stupid limit cut off the bottom of my sig. The guy wearing the white jersey (you still can barely see him) flopped and on purpose, pulled down the pants of the blue guy. In any sports, that would be a major FOUL. It's suppose to be a joke pic but you can't really tell since the bottom part is cut off......damn stupid cut off!

Sony new film....
