I’m nervous about Playstation being in his hands. Obviously we only get very limited insight into the inner workings of Playstation, but much of what has trickled through and even some things that he openly states go completely against what I love about Playstation. I was hoping to see Sony grow their japanese studio presence not wind it down.
Of course, this is not official confimation and we’re lacking all the details. I don’t wanna jump to wrong conclusions, but if the supposed power struggle between Jim Ryan and Shawn Layden really took place, I’d much rather live in a reality where Shawn won out. Shawn clearly loves games and is from the old guard of Playstation. Jim on the other hand seems like a typical suit who only cares about the bottom line. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am.
