Kaz Hirai to become Sony Computer Entertainment Chairman, leave Andrew House with tough CEO gig

When you’ve needed to deal out as many public apologies as Sony has needed to perform over its protracted PSN hacking saga , the common expectation is that somebody somewhere may be getting fired or “reshuffled” right into a new post. No firings at PlayStation headquarters, however our old pal Kaz Hirai is getting a brand new position as Sony Computer Entertainment Chairman, with Andrew House succeeding him within the CEO hot seat. Mr. House was previously Sony’s PlayStation chief in Europe, so he’s simply stepping as much as be accountable for the company’s global operations, but Kaz’s new duties are less clearly defined. Both changes will go into effect on September 1st, an afternoon after current Chairman Akira Sato retires, giving both Kaz and Andrew just a little time to get acquainted with their new(ish) surroundings before tackling Sony’s massively important PS Vita launch on the tail end of the year.
