Hi, I just figured this was pertanent to the list
Sony announced early Monday that Phil Harrison, president of Sony Computer 
Entertainment Worldwide Studios--and therefore the head of the PlayStation 
group--would
be stepping down as of Feb. 29, 2008.

No specific reason was given for Harrison's departure. Kazuo Hirai, president 
and group CEO of Sonly Computer Entertainment International, will assume 
Harrison's
position.

But, one can assume that Harrison may well be the latest head to roll in the 
wake of the poor performance of the PlayStation 3--the next-generation video
game console that launched with gigantic expectations but has wallowed in 
third-place, trailing Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360.

That's after Ken Kutaragi, the so-called "father" of the PlayStation,
stepped down last April.
That departure was widely assumed to be a result of the PS3's poor sales.
