Phil Harrison will resign from his post as President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios this Friday, February 29.
Kaz Hirai, president and Group CEO of SCEI, will immediately assume responsibilities as president of Worldwide Studios, in addition to his current duties.
Prior to the launch of the original PlayStation, Phil Harrison joined Sony Electronics Publishing, Ltd. in 1992, which later evolved into Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Since then we'd all agree that he's made a tremendous contribution to the industry as well as the company for playing a strategic role in the launch of four PlayStation platforms.
