PlayStation will have two new leaders who will report to the head of Sony

It finally happened, the individuals who will now be in charge of PlayStation have already been chosen and that will be from June 1st. Those chosen are Hermen Hulst and Hideaki Nishino.

Hermen Hulst is the new CEO of Studio Business Group, which has to do with all the first party PlayStation teams. Likewise, it will have the responsibility of bringing the IPs of this brand to other platforms and media.

Then, Hideaki Nishino will be in charge of the Platform Business Group, which basically covers what has to do with consoles, technology, accessories, PSN and relationships with third party studios.

Let’s not lose sight of a detail, both will be responsible for reporting to Hiroki Totoki, who is the leader of Sony Interactive Entertainment. We must remember that he is the one who took Jim Ryan’s position and now he has left two leaders in two businesses that each of them knows.

“These two leaders will have clear responsibilities and manage strategic direction to ensure the focus remains on deepening engagement with existing PlayStation users and expanding experiences to new audiences.“Declared Hiroki Totoki.

It is the first time that PlayStation has two leaders

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that PlayStation continues with its tradition of removing its leaders from within the company, they do not bring in someone from outside. What is surprising is that they are two individuals working on very specific businesses. Let’s say that technology and relations continue hand in hand with Japan and the games are in Europe.

PS’s strategy is in a very specific direction of remaining solid in consoles, without neglecting the growth in PC, which is taking shape little by little, although it must be admitted that it still has a long way to go to say that it is a functional business.
