Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's chairman, flies in later to hold presence alongside PhilHarrison, Sony's worldwide VP of development: announcements on next-generation machines from both parties are expected later in the week.
Reporting into PhilHarrison, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business (EMEA), the new studio's remit will be to develop a long-term business with Entertainment as a Service at its core, with a focus on Windows 8 tablet devices as the underlying technology and platforms as part of Microsoft Studios' continued expansion across the region.
After Ken Kutaragi straight up told his rivals that he " didn't care" about the so-called competition they were trying to provide, and those very rivals laughed in his face over Sony's countless delays in producing its miracle machine, it seems that we're finally getting a bit of good ole honesty from Sony's "worldwide studios boss, " PhilHarrison.
