This was unexpected. What the hell?
Must be conflicting interests with what he wants to do with the PS brand and what the Execs want to do.
Thought he was already gone. Guess he just took a different, less visible role over the past gen.
Translation: “Fuuuck this shit’s getting cray-cray. Ima peace out now while I can yo!”
SID: Happy to have you, we’re going to do a lot of catching up. But I heard you had some news for us here today?
SHU: Yes, I have an announcement to make. I’m leaving Sony Interactive Entertainment on January 15 2025… it’s like announcing the launch date of a new game, [something] I haven’t done for a long time [laughs].
SID: You’ve been with Sony Interactive for so long. What’s guiding the decision and the timing?
SHU: I’ve been with PlayStation from the beginning, and this is my 31st year with PlayStation. And when I hit 30 years, I was thinking, hmm, it may be about time for me to move on. You know, the company’s been doing great. I love PS5, I love the games that are coming out on this platform. And we have new generations of management who I respect and admire. And I’m so excited for the future of PlayStation.
So you know, PlayStation is in really good hands. I thought, okay, this is my time.
