Ken Kutaragi, the father of PlayStation, is retiring from Sony Computer Entertainment and becoming the 'honourary chairman', whatever that means. But whatever it is, he will have more time to think over just what the hell went wrong with the PS3.
"I am happy to graduate from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. after introducing four platforms to the PlayStation family," said Kutaragi. "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 endeavors."
Just curious, but what IS your next endeavor? Going over to Nintendo, perhaps?
So the four platforms are PSX, PS2, PSP and PS3. Out of the four, only two are truly the king of the world. Ironically, PSP and PS3 both failing to capture people's heart (and money), falling behind Nintendo's less powerful DS and Wii (and the XBox 360 as well). It just goes to show, best graphics and beastly processing power is nothing when you don't have the software to support it (that and a good marketing campaign).
Kazuo Hirai, currently SCE President and Group COO, will be taking up Kutaragi's place.
