Krazy Ken’s Outta Here!

By Joe

That’s right! As of June, Ken Kutaragi will no longer be under the employ of Sony!

From Wired

Ken Kutaragi, the man widely regarded as the father of the PlayStation, is stepping down from his role as Chairman and Group CEO of Sony as of June 19, 2007, Sony announced this morning.

I can’t believe how excited I am about this. Yet, dissapointed, mostly because we’re not going to have the endless swarm of asinine quotes.

It also seems strange that the reason that he’s leaving is that Sony no longer needs visionaries.

Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter says that Kutaragi’s departure signals that Sony no longer needs “visionaries” to run the PlayStation business — it needs “operations” types.

Weirdness….
