So I'm guessing next is president of the world?

You've let him in your house, now he can't be stopped!

I never really was aware of Kaz before this past E3 (never knew where the Ridge Racer joke came from) but from what I've seen of him recently he seems like a very likable guy. Whether he has good business practices I don't know but at least he's fun to watch.

and well be using ATNT. Crowd sigh's

They can't get rid of the Token American CEO. That'd be ridiculous. I've
heard American CEOs have been a trend for Japanese companies for
awhile now.  Maybe the fad has waned?

Congrats Hirai and good luck!

So wait, Playstation birthed Ken Kutaragi?

Any Ridge Racer fanatic has my vote for executive office any time, any day.

Hey, do any of you guys remember that one E3 years ago where Kaz Hirai shouted "Riiiiidge Racer!" incredibly loudly? Am I the only one?

Yes.

Sony's really in the shit. I don't think I'll buy another Playstation till they make some big changes. In saying that I probably won't buy the next Xbox either, hopefully someone else will come up with a better consumer product for the next gen.

Explain please your thoughts on how sony is in the shit? The vita is selling ok in japan, it has yet to launch here, And if they are smart they will fix the UMD to DL crap with the excessively high prices. The Ps3 also has practically sold the same amount of consoles as Xbox has since launch and Microsoft is having the Hacking problems now while sony is fine. I am not seeing how they are in the shit -.-

Hip hip, Hirai? *crickets*

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?

*GUITARRRRSSSSSSSSS*

It's ridge racer. RIDDGGE RACCERR!

Congrats Kaz.

Once Kaz becomes CEO all Sony products will be Ridge Racer oriented.

Well Im glad hes the president now.  Hes a really likeable person

Isn't there a difference between president and CEO. Perhaps both will coexist, but who knows.

Kaz is a total baller. Good job Sony!

Stringer was a Brit who cared about $$.
Let's see of kaz has the vision to bring all of Sony's resources together
