Sony's Phil Harrison resigns!
Phil Harrison has formally resigned from his post as President for Sony Computer Entertainment World Wide today with Haz filling his shoes in the interim. Why is Phil suddenly leaving? Could it be the comments he made about Sony NOT having the foresight to see that social gaming was a reality? Probably so.. The Wii has done more harm to the PS3 then it has the 360 (especially in Japan). So long Phil (for now)..

Sony Europe already had three products on the market designed specifically to encourage social gaming in the living room before the Wii was even released – the EyeToy, SingStar and Buzz – but Japanese execs didn't believe in the concept of families enjoying gaming together.
"It's a very interesting and frustrating thing for me to experience because I have been banging the drum about social gaming for a long time, with SingStar, EyeToy and Buzz," he said during a private lunch taking place during GDC week.
"And our Japanese colleagues said that there is no such thing as social gaming in Japan – people do not play games on the same sofa together in each other's homes. It will never happen. And then out comes the Wii."
