Hideaki Nishino udnævnt som ene mand i spidsen for Sony Interactive Entertainment

Da den tidligere CEO for Sony Interactive Entertainmen, Jim Ryan, forlod virksomheden sidste år, blev Hideaki Nishino og Hermen Hulst udnævnt som co-CEO's og de har siden da, i et partnerskab, stået i spidsen for Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Sony har nu annonceret, at pr. 1. april er det alene Hideaki Nishino, der vil besidde den position, mens Hermen Hulst fortsætter som CEO for Studio Business Group. Det betyder Hulst han vil stå i spidsen for PlayStations first-party studier. Her vil han lede "development, publishing, and business operations of SIE's first party content" og "developing games across many devices including PlayStation consoles and PCs and bringing video game IP to new mediums through PlayStation Productions". Hermen Hulst vil nu rapportere direkte til Hideaki Nishino.

I am truly honored to take the helm at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Technology and creativity are two of our biggest strengths as we continue to focus on developing experiences that deliver entertainment for everyone. We will continue to grow the PlayStation community in new ways, such as IP expansion, while also delivering the best in technology innovation. I want to thank Hermen for his expertise and leadership as he continues his role as CEO of Studio Business Group. I am deeply grateful for the PlayStation community and their continued support, and I am very excited for what the future holds.

- Hideaki Nishino, President & CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment

Om den nye rolle til Hermen Hulst er et resultat af Sonys efterhånden mange live-service fiaskoer, eller om det bare ikke fungerede med to ledere i spidsen for Sony Interactive Entertainment, ved vi ikke, og det får vi nok aldrig at vide.
