Although his resignation was announced a couple months ago, Ken Kutaragi, the father of PlayStation, officially stepped down today from his position at Sony. Sony Computer Entertainment will now be lead by Kazuo Hirai, who is currently the president of the worldwide branch of the PlayStation division. Hirai is considered an ally of CEO Howard Stringer, who was known to be at odds with Kutaragi before he announced his resignation. Sony has said Kutaragi will stay with the company, but solely in an advisory position. It is also well known that Kutaragi's stubbornness and argumentative personality may cost Sony in the long run. He questioned the manufacturing practices of the console and went way over budget in development. Sony's gaming unit may not see a profit on the console for a couple of years because of that fact, and the PlayStation 3's current price is so high because of it. Either way, his resignation is the end of an era, and Kutaragi will always be remembered for his work at Sony. Source: BetaNews

I am only posting this as "purpose of information or news"...... I am have no personal issues with "kutarangi" or anyone else for that matter NOR kutarangi is paying me for this.... But it dosen't mean that if u like 360 more, you have all the right to hate the guy for apparently no reasons what so ever......of course you can love or hate anyone BUT without providing any reasons, you gotta keep it ur self...  After all he is the father of playstation who's popularity in the world made MS think about XboX....

he has done a great job and i dont think he is solely responsible for pS3's high costs as it wasnt made in a day....it took several years and the company knew the actual development cost very well. And PS3 is better than Xbox360 when we talk about extra goodies it have.
