Phil always came off as very intelligent and on point, never seeming too stiff or rehearsed. Hopefully if they choose to replace him with someone soon, they will chose someone with a similar vision of what the company should be. Kaz, although he has experience seeing things from the side of sony outside of japan, he may be too close to Sony Japan to make objective decisions about the breadth of games that the rest of the world would enjoy. I am really going to miss Phil, but hopefully all will be fine if they choose the right person. Sony as a whole is changing, with the hiring of Howard Stringer, i doubt sony will be reverting to old ways.

I thought Sony was doing a great job of funding the right blend of titles. Wow, I hope this isn’t true (although these things usually are).

Phil going to Atari to do casual games is a money move on Phil's Part. Casual gaming is huge $ and only going to get bigger. Phil always put a human face on a marketing dysfunctional Sony Corporation. He will be missed at E3. I'm sure that Sony will find someone to replace him but it is going to be very hard for them to find someone. The Sony management is almost as dysfunctional as the Toronto Maple Leafs. First they "retire" Kutiragi. The one guy who's vision is actually paying off for Sony. Now Phil "resigns" in what looks like Corporate retribution for Phils comments last week. It has that Japanese "Saving Face" kind of feel to it, doesn't it. Good luck Phil, your candid statements will be missed. Maybe he'll blog. Maybe he'll do an interview for PS3blog.net? Big loss for Sony.
