GameDaily.biz: Shawn Layden departs Sony amid restructuring confusion and potential power struggle. Third party source: "We're getting nervous."

Indeed. I loved the "Sony Worldwide Studios are just a side project" part tho. Hilarious. ;D
This is a super shitty article, but whatever some need to latch onto.
Besides we've already heard everything we need about next gen. Drastically more powerful Zen2+Navi console with disc support, full PS4 BC, more first party games including sequels to God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Spider-Man. Everything else is a bonus to me.

Arrogant Sony returns! Five Hundred Ninety-Nine US Dollars! Eyetoy! Your credit card information was just stolen! Riiiiiidge Racer!
what? how is a journalist citing sources who think there is turmoil "fan conjecture"?
This.
I also call bullshit on the OP's article. There's been glowing praise of the PS5's power from those with dev kits or insider access, we have crossplay, PS Now just got competitively priced and is being positioned to have a stronger offering, and we're just getting started. PS5 is at least a year away and they have yet to drop the bomb that it'll play every playstation game from gen 1 through 5. Imagine what that'll be like. :)
Don't really seem like anything worthwhile to be honest. Sounds more like speculation.
We will see how things go but I highly doubt they would fuck up. Even Jim Ryan who said some really bad shit about classic games is one of the reasons PlayStation is huge in europe.

Consoles aren't refreshed annually. So there needs to be a certain amount of secrecy between competitors. Next gen consoles will be announced in the spring at the latest which is more lead time than most other consumer products.
he's a journalist citing a source. how is that not actual reporting?
There are no sources. He is literally using public statements as his source.
The only source apparently has nothing to do with Layden and Ryan fighting and more to do with the organization rejig.
The crossplay and cloud quote is tales from the ass.
The weird thing is that they wouldn't wait to sort this crap out after the PS5 launch. Where is Shu and Cerny??
I think Layden was progressive on key issue like cross play and I liked that he was dedicated to actual physical games and hardware. Also, going on stage at Game Awards with Nintendo and Xbox
ryan's Push for cloud gaming can be good and I do think his emphasis on some older business tactics (like buying studios and making more exclusives, giving consumers more reason to only use your product) can be good as well. Ryan totally isn't the kind of exec who lets an official Ps rep go on stage with their Competitors
sucks to see a power struggle at the top. Sounds like had they let took away some power from Layden and he didn't like that.
I wonder if any of this has to do with the weird, soft announcement in Wired of the PS5. I get it, give people a taste but if they're waiting until early or mid 2020, why the fuck do you tease it loosely in April 2019 then? If it had an e3 June reveal that would make sense and if there is some sort of Switch October 2016 reveal video before this year ends then maybe.
Strange times at Sony

Strange times at Sony
"An employee at a major third-party publisher with direct knowledge of the situation has told GameDaily the confusion resulting from the global reorganization has made the switch, already difficult as is, even more concerning.
Speaking under the condition of anonymity, GameDaily's source relayed what their company is facing."
"There are no sources"
please read the article and learn what you are talking about before you post in a thread and embarrass yourself like this
Damn, so PS5's launch isn't developing too well, and also, Jim vs Andy, ouch. I saw a few heads turn when Jim took over and I hope he's not just some Peter Moore/John Riccitello type garbage-man who chases profits and cancels shit we like because it's not "THE MOST PROFITABLE IT COULD BE".
Why are people so quick to dismiss this? Zhuge in the other thread literally said
I went with PS4 this gen, but am not in love with their brand or exclusives. My console choice next gen will once again come down to which one plays 3rd party games the best.
Take your own advice and stop embarrassing yourself and READ - I said there are no sources to indicate that Layden and Ryan were at logger heads over cloud and cross play.
The story to me reads like a lot of it is on background. It is not surprising that most sources wouldn't want to take even vague attribution, and I really doubt they would print with flimsy or light sourcing. It's also stuff that isn't new to this article. I've personally heard similar complaints.
Woah!
How did I miss the news that Shawn Layden was leaving?
Good luck to him. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
but yeah, I'm not shedding any tears over his departure.
I've been rather critical of him since he first showed up on the gaming stage hocking that "hit" media property Powers ... He never seemed like a person who was into games like Adam Boyes or Phil Spenser, and really those are the kinds of execs PlayStation and Xbox should have.

People think that it's a coincidence that he's the only one left from the Game Awards? Come on. This was his plan all along.
My feelings on Layden's leadership are mixed, but cloud-focused, content lock-in Ryan presents a future for PlayStation I'm not interested in.
he looks like some stern, uptight character played by Ed Begley Jr.
