As you know Phil Harrison left Sony Computer Entertainment and went to Atari. Shuhei Yoshida will replace Phil Harrison and from the 16th of May he will be president of SCE Worldwide Studios.

So what sort of experience does Yoshida have in store for us?

“Yoshida has been with SCEI since 1993, and was an initial member of the PlayStation business, according to a Sony statement. In 1996, he became producer of the product development department, and in 2000, joined SCEA as VP of product development.”

“Under the leadership of Yoshida, who has proven track record in managing creative talent, SCE WWS will accelerate the software development for the PlayStation 3 and PSP platforms and vigorously expand the gaming market.”
