Shuhei Yoshida Talks about the PS3 and PSP
In an interview with IGN, they talk about the future of Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. You also get to learn some of Shuhei’s history with Sony.
IGN: How are you settling in your new role?
Shuhei Yoshida: I think it’s going very well actually - I’m in the middle of moving my base from the US to Japan. For me, it’s been a case of setting up the appropriate management in Europe and the US and now I’m very pleased with how we are set up internally. I’m feeling very, very good about it.
IGN: You’ve been a Sony employee for some years. Tell us about your history with the company.
Shuhei Yoshida: I started in the Sony electronics side, and then Ken [Kutaragi] started doing the PS1. In February 1993 I joined the team and my first job was to present the case to Sony why they should invest in this new kind of videogame technology. Sony Computer Entertainment was formed in November of that year.

Im really impressed buy this guy. He seems to talk sense, straight up. He does not seem to suffer from the corporate pr waffle (ie/ David Reeves SCEE). Or the petty rabid fanboyism (ie/ Aaron Greenburg Xbox360). Good Job Sony
