Era seems to want the next CEO to be a Phil Spencer-Style leader as if that's at all what the majorty wants or what PlayStation even needs. Andrew House, Shawn Layden and Jack Tretton style leadership would all work.

Jim is old, so he may just be retiring. Hopefully the next leader is ready to do battle with a much larger, much more aggressive Xbox.

Just watch what happens when people find out jim probably isn't the only one with the current sony vision.

Get the popcorn ready 🍿
Jim Ryan isn't a dictator that makes all the decisions alone.
Not much will change. They will keep doing what they are doing RIGHT NOW.
Jim is just retiring. A new boss will appear and continue with Sony's current plan/strategy.

Maybe retirement. He is at PS for 30 years almost. PlayStation has been doing really well since he took over. No one can denied that at all

Nah, I doubt retirement (legitimate). There was no plan, no 2nd man, nothing, just this.

So yes, retirement, but he's being sent on his merry way.

People expecting drastic changes with him steeping out is just fooling himself imo.
It can't get much worse than Jim and the new CEO is Japanese, so hopefully he will look at what Nintendo is doing and emulate that instead of Sony trying to copy Xbox

In the alternative reality...

Bungie's CEO takes the place of Jimbo and Bungie start it legendary path from subsidiary to matrix integrating the whole Sony behind their hands.

Here's hoping the new (non-temporary) CEO has some interesting ideas for PlayStation that pays more attention to the core audience. PlayStation also has the opportunity to make all of their bad PR disappear with Jim.

This is wild wild stuff. Seems quick and unexpected. Well some people just got their wish!

The question is ... was it 100% voluntary or was he asked to retire?
