Sony Denies Reports of Kaz Hirai Movin’ On Up

They just aren't ready for all Ridge Racer Sony future.

So what they're really saying is he's skipping president and going straight to CEO >_>

This just in! Man with talking dog starts fires!

Bill Gates is running for president of the United States.

Spread it like wild-fire my little lovelies....

Your dog talks!?

I wouldn't be surprised if Kaz Hirai received this promotion some time in the near future. He's been with Sony for over 20 years so it wouldn't be at all surprising.

I now have no idea who runs anything at Sony anymore

@heatDrive88: Exactly

@heatDrive88: You bet I was thinking about this song when I was reading this.

I'm starting to feel like "1. Leak - 2. Deny - 3. Wait for it - 4. Confirm" has become Sony's official way of making announcements.

Meh, he'll get that job eventually.

Really?

I dunno, this guy seems like he could detroy not employ....

Excuse me, that's SIR Howard Stringer to you.

First Miyamoto, now this. Maybe it's time we wait for the company to comment before treating it as news.

You know all of you were thinkin' it.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER

"The trial balloon we floated clearly does not reflect any possibility of what we might possibly do"

They will most likely wait until the strat of the new financial year and then announce the change makes it look better to shareholders etc.

That's... odd

First Nintendo, now Sony. Flaky Japanese video game companies are flaky.

That kind of sucks.

finally, I dont have to make stupid first comments

In what comes across as merely hemming and hawing before the inevitable, Sony released a brief statement today pushing back on reports that executive Kaz Hirai, long associated with the PlayStation division, would become the company’s president.

According to the original report, Hirai would be Sony's new president, and current CEO Howard Stringer would retain his position. It’s been expected Hirai would eventually replace Stringer.

“Certain media reports were published on January 7, 2012 regarding Sony Corporation's executive officers' appointments,” said the company. “Sony Corporation has made no announcement in this regard and nothing has been determined at this time.”

That’s not exactly a denial, either.
