CEO Andrew House Departs Sony

President and Group CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Andrew House, announced today that he will be leaving Sony after 27 years at the company.

House will “will transition from operational management of SIE, but will remain with SIE as Chairman through the year to ensure a smooth transition” according to Sony. House’s role as PlayStation boss will then be taken over by Tsuyoshi “John” Kodera, who has been in charge of Sony’s network business since 2013 and was appointed to the role of Deputy President of SIE in 2016.

House started working at Sony in 1990 where he worked in the corporate communications department. He rose through the ranks and become the head of PlayStation, taking over the role in 2011 from Kazuo Hirai. 

Looking at the PlayStation brand the gaming sector of Sony has been rising constantly. With over 60 million PS4 units shipped and massively successful exclusives like Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Horizon Zero Dawn, and NieR: Automata the PlayStation 4 hasn't been slowing down.
