Here's an article about Sony increasing production to get the price down.
Here's an article about Sony increasing production to get the price down.
He's been around the industry and I guess had a successful career you could say. But also his biggest contribution for Sony was making Japan aware of their more European studios, and got Media Molecule noticed for Sony to promote and give greenlight to LBP.
He was more of a face for Sony on the European side. And he didn't do much at Xbox and I think left because of the big fall out with current leadership. i could be wrong.
But anything he associates himself with now I don't know, it's like he's bad luck charm.
I remember word of this making the rounds about 10 years ago. Having worked in manufacturing myself, it's frustrating how one small component can hold everything back.
They played a big part. 2009 as a whole saved the PS3. The $299 price drop along with the absurd lineup of Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, inFamous, Killzone 2, and R&C: A Crack in Time.
That's a brutal recent track record. Atleast they all see success when he leaves? Hope for stadia?
I can't quite put my finger on the common denominator. Not going to lie when I heard he was steering the stadia ship it didn't fill me with confidence.
