Guys, I know that sounds stupid, but I'm at a loss in here ever since Shawn Layden left the branch. For me it was kaizo hirai->jack Trenton-> Shawn layden-> and ???. It's not Jim Ryan right? he had other attributions, right? Also, Shawn Layden was the last person I saw on a stage talking for Sony. These days I see shuhei Yoshida talk more in behalf of playstation than anyone else, but he's not the president anymore either.

So, what gives?

Shawn Layden was never head of Playstation. He was head of US branch though. Jim Ryan is the current head of Playstation. People assume Layden left because he didn't get that job.

Shawn Layden was never the head of PlayStation, he was the head of SCEA AFAIK.

Jim Ryan

edit:
Also Jim Ryan was on a digital stage talking during the PS5 events, it would have been a physical stage like Layden was if not for COVID

Before Ryan it was Andrew House who inherited from Kaz. Shu was head of worldwide studios but moved on to indies and now Hulst from Guerilla is the new head.

It's Jim Ryan, Jack Trenton and Shawn Layden were only in charge of the USA branch before the reorganization. After Kaz Hirai, it was Andrew House, then John Kodera (less than a year) then Jim Ryan.

Shawn Layden was in charge of SIE America, and then later SIE World Wide Studios, a position now occupied by Herman Hulst.
Jim Ryan is president of Sony Interactive Entertainment. Kodera was his predecessor. Andrew House was Kodera's predecessor who replaced Kaz Hirai who replaced Krazy Ken.
