Jack Tretton stopt bij Sony PlayStation

Jack Tretton, de grote baas bij Sony Amerika en er werkzaam sinds 1995, gaat Sony PlayStation verlaten. Hij vertrekt eind deze maand bij het bedrijf, na bijna twintig dienstjaren.

Working at SCEA for the past 19 years has been the most rewarding experience of my career. Although I will deeply miss the talented team at SCEA and the passion demonstrated every day by our fans, I'm very excited about starting the next chapter of my career. I want to thank the employees, partners and customers for their tireless commitment to the PlayStation brand and, of course, to our fans who have pushed us to new heights of innovation and entertainment over the past two decades. I leave PlayStation in a position of considerable strength and the future will only get brighter for PlayStation Nation.

"Tretton en Sony konden er niet uitkomen over een nieuw contract", aldus Sony Computer Entertainment America.

It's an honor and privilege to join Sony Computer Entertainment America and be a part of the team that is leading the next generation of gaming and entertainment. SCEA is committed to delivering breakthrough gaming experiences that inspire fans and exceed their wildest expectations. As PS4 shows us every day, there has never been a better time to be part of the PlayStation community and I look forward to working with our retail, development, publishing and network partners to further demonstrate why PlayStation is the best place to play.

Shawn Layden volgt Tretton's functie op. Shawn Layden was de voormalige Sony Network Entertainment's EVP en COO. Wie zijn functie gaat opvolgen is nog niet bekend.
