In a shocking announcement, Sony has revealed that the decision was made so that Kutaragi could "pass the torch on to the next generation," and so that he can "pursue his dreams beyond PlayStation and accelerate his network vision."

Taking over his position will be current SCEI president and COO Kazuo Hirai, who will be promoted to president and CEO.

actually, this isn't pointless. he made so many decisions without approval and could possible have driven PS3 to the ground. He went over budget in production and just pumped $$$ at w/e he thought was right.
