Shawn Layden has departed Sony


Recommended Posts

Sounds like there might have been an internal power struggle

 

 

 

Damn... you'd hate to see Playstation fall apart at the seams going into a new generation by not having a clear vision for the future that everyone can get behind... especially after the success this generation.

Someone in that resetera thread brought up the talks about Sony and MS working together using Azure for their cloud services and that did seem odd at the time.  Maybe Jim Ryan and Shawn had completely different ideas and planned on taking Playstation in a different direction and since then or even before then things have been going on at Sony which seemed odd.

 

Then there's also the fact that it really has been weird that apparently a lot of Sony games were canned recently, and that Sony essentially hasn't had anything new to show for years now.  We've been riding on the same announced games for 3 years or so now.

 

Maybe things aren't as rosy as they seemed?

Good. Ever since he replaced jack tretton the direction they were going in was terrible, and their e3s were embarrassing to where they literally gave up. That e3 conference with flute guy was literally top 3 worst of all time.

 

this guy sucked

To be fair, the 2016 E3 was probably their best in ages.  The God of War Orchestra was :lawd:

You realize these people only leave when the brand is in high regard right? He's selling out right when the getting is good. I don't know the details (not a business man by any means) But I'm assuming his severance package will be pretty hefty with PS4 where it is now. 

 

This is why Phil will never leave, he's never going to get Xbox into a spot where it's feasible for him to cut and run. :D
