Kaz was only appointed Chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment on September 1st of last year, and was recently made president and CEO of the Sony Corporation.

Made president a couple months ago and leaves the company. Though seriously I hope they don't go bankrupt, this is bad news all around. In general I see "Playstation" becoming a software brand more than anything now.

Usually when you take a new job, you leave your old job. His new job is CEO of Sony Corp. The job he is "leaving" is his old job with Sony Computer Entertainment, which was a division of Sony Corp. I thought that goes without saying.

I'm sure this is what the OP meant. Because if he read the article he would know that he is a complete and utter idiot.

Many times posters try to spin articles and get the rest of SW in a frenzy.

The way I see it, the OP was trolling or he didn't read his own article.

Either he's owned or he's busted. :P

Kaz didn't leave Sony, lmao...he got promoted. :lol:

Didn't read nothing but the header but logically it makes no sense so I don't believe he would step down that fast like that.

Meh, I prefer games I can put 100 hrs into and not even be finished 1 playthrough. (Crusader Kings 2) Think I could play pretty much all the consoles exclusives combined a couple of times over each for that and still have a free weekend :)

Crusader Kings 2 is amazing. If you're into A Song of Ice & Fire (or the series, 'Game of Thrones'), you should dl the mod that allows you play in the fantasy world's setting. Just fantastic, a bit rough on the edges, but fantastic.
