i feel like this should be important but i can't remember that last time kaz hirai's name was brought up in the gaming industry

other than for mockery

maybe it was just awhile ago.

He worked on FFXI which automatically means this is important to me.

Anyone know what he did on the team?

[Dhsu]

Wow, he took over less than 10 months ago. Must be a really stressful job.

Hopefully this means the next Playstation won't cost FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS

[Newt]

He stepped down from his SCE post to better utilize his time as president of Sony.

Nothing to see here.
