Jim Ryan to Be Appointed President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment
- Thread starter bluexy
- Start date
I don't get it. Why would a top executive from any of the Big 3 say something like this? It's just dumb and makes you look bad. You don't just take a fairly big request from consumers and say "why would you want this?" You either say yes or don't say anything at all IMO. Or at least say no in a "nicer" PR way or something.
Hopefully he makes PS5 as dominant in NA as it is in EU. EU is so much more competitive.
They were always going to do worse, unless MS hobbles itself again, only question is how much worse.
Short term? Probably nothing, the PS5 will mostly be set in stone and it's just a timing thing at this point. Long term? Who knows, probably a smaller thing will be more of a focus on European shows I guess.
Interesting...I think the portable must have gotten greenlit and since that's Kodera's bag I suspect he wants' to focus on that. I also think Kodera may not have wanted to be out front at various events and giving interviews. Along with Kodera possibly not wanting to be out front it makes sense if PS5 is to be released this year, which is what I suspect, Sony would want to make a change at the top ASAP.
GOOD.
I've nothing against Kodera, but there are too much things that are not going right at SIE for a while now and I hope for some change in the right direction. Show them Jim !
The fact that Kodera was kicked out so quickly shows something was wrong.

Portable? As in a successor to the Vita or something like those tablet designs we keep seeing in patents? Any links to info on Kodera's desire for a portable?
Cannot see PS5 being revealed let alone released this year, but that's just me.
I've always thought he was an arse clown.
What were his wonderful initiatives that helped PlayStation dominate Europe? As they've pretty much always done?

Ya, I'm not really feeling too confident for them at the moment. Most of the old crew who made PS4 so good like tretton, house, boyes, kaz, are all gone now.
Hopefully Ryan doesn't fuck up too bad. He deserves a chance at least.
He's been there since 94, so whatever they were he probably had some hand in it.
Guy doesn't fill me with confidence but let's see. Everybody was skeptical of Andy House when he took over from Kaz but he turned out to be probably the most effective leader PlayStation has had.
Which has nothing to do with anything related to the job nothing is making sense in this topic.
I don't really have a dog in this fight as I personally don't play a lot of BC/old games but I am amused at the fact that for every 50 posts of people asking for BC or expressing their love of BC there's always 1 or 2 people chiming in to tell them their desire to play BC puts them in the minority lol. I mean come on. There's a reason why classic consoles (that aren't heaping piles of shit) sell well, as well as why it's a successful selling point for MS and Nintendo services.

Great choice, that's the man who is in charge for PS Europe Domination, destroying the competitors, so he knows what he is doing.
ps: he needs to cancel a bunch of games and say it's better for gamers if he wants to earn some era's respect, lol.

Maybe if people tried to learn what Jim Ryan has done in Europe then they might resist the urge to shit post.
It's amazing the amount of people I've seen crying because their favourites are getting shit posted shit posting in here.
How about your all do better and try setting a better tone? This thread is pretty disgusting.
Well done Era. Even saw an admin at it, so I guess we all reap what we sow
He literally had a hand in it, he's been a part of SIE Europe for pretty much it's history.
I get it, he sad something that people didn't want to hear, but he has played a big role in PlayStation, you don't last that long and get all the way up to the top otherwise.
What is it with Sony executives that get people all riled up? EVERYTIME a person at Sony changes position or leaves people act like it's the end of the world. Guess what? It wasn't just one team that helped in Europe, it was constantly changing and evolving into different teams. A few people stayed for the long haul but for the most part people come and go and it has been happening since they formed SCEE.
I can't tell anymore what is real and what is sarcasm in the gaming forum.
How does this theory continue to pop up? Sony's come out on top 3 our of the 4 generations they've been involved in. Not only that, in the generation that they "failed" they still sold 85m+ consoles. Compare that to what happens when other manufacturers release a console that fails. You could combine Nintendo's three failure consoles, the N64, GC and Wii U, and they wouldn't even equal up to how much Sony's lone failure sold. But somehow Sony just lucks out?
I am so sick of that nonsense too its always just luck. Same stories every single gen.
Nintendo's failure played a part in PSX's success & Sony getting the 3rd party support, Sony's first party in that era was a bit weak, Rare alone was stronger than Sony's entire first party imo.
