Chief executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment, Ken Kutaragi, has packed his bags and is ready to depart from the company in June. It’s the end of a legacy, as Ken helped build the Playstation brand from the ground up, leading the way to the mass success the brand has generated around the world.
Announcements like this always carry a weight of questionability. Let’s face it, sometimes people just retire or like to move on, but sometimes there is some motivation from the company to have those people move on as well. Ken says he has been thinking about this decision for a while, and it has been several months already since he stepped down as president of the company.
It’ll be a sad day to see Ken leave the company, and we’ll have to see whether this will be good or bad news for future SCEI products.

2He isn’t retired! Just moving on! Get the facts on the reality of him still being held on retainer as technology advisor. He is busy in other things now, using his Genius to futher his Cell BE Ultra Networking with other companies including IBM, Sony, etc. etc.!
When he really retires he will be not only known as the “Father of Playstation”, but the “Father of the Cell BE”, the man who single handedly saved Sony from sure financial ruin with a game console. The Chip Security Guru that through Cell brought peace to corrupt networking World! So much this man has done that is far beyond his words that at times can be brash.
But genius of his calibur is Rare. Very rare indeed! I respect him for challenging Sony on so many things for our benefit. Yes he may have pissed a few people off outside of Sony, but he fought with Sony brass to make things cheaper, and better!
I’m just going to wait to see what he comes up with next. He is like Steven Jobs of Apple when he left the company. John Sculley just about ruined Apple and when Jobs came back, we got iPod, iMac, iTunes, etc!
So he’s not dead even it a few out there wish it so! Kutaragi is a fighter at heart with a heap of passion for what he does! A very rare combination that will lead him right in to the History Books!!!
