He did a really good job at E3 2016, but the following years the format of the show played against him.Liked him but he was horrible at E3s lol. Stage presence was not his forte.

And also the backlash that the PS brand received after his first statements about Fortnite cross-play, that awful PSX17 with him talking to the devs on a couch and the chaotic E3 2018 press conference.Whatever the circumstances, the reception to the last State of Play was that it was a waste of time for a TLoU2 trailer and perhaps this past year or two it's been going against Layden. No PSX when it was helping drive sales numbers, no E3 when they had every opportunity to curb stomp Microsoft. Communication poor. Business decisions, poor. These past two years, sales aside, the buzz has not been playstation. I also wonder how much a part he played in the Insomniac acquisition and if anything has changed there.
As consoles today are very system software and services heavy. I think it’s better to try to keep it closer to the US. Since that’s what they are great at. Their games division is lead by Shu. So he has the power still to let those creative Japanese games exist.Pretty shocking, wonder why?
I liked the guy but it would be amazing if Jack came back or management reverted to Japan. Shu would be ideal.
I don’t think it’s proven that PSX leads to strong software sales or that anything bad is happening due to a lack of E3 or PSX. Vast majority of PS money comes from third party software sales; and not doing some events isn’t going to decrease those sales. From their publishing side they are doing better than ever with 3 releases in the last couple years selling significantly better than any first party game ever before.Whatever the circumstances, the reception to the last State of Play was that it was a waste of time for a TLoU2 trailer and perhaps this past year or two it's been going against Layden.

They needed a more likeable puppet for the west. Maybe they can hire Reggie.

Jim’s already in the highest position of the SIE. He took John’s role as CEO.
I never really liked his on stage presence, he's bad at hiding that he doesn't really care about the stuff he is talking about. And I wonder how involved he was in Sony going hard on censorship to please the woke crowd.
Aside from that I guess he did fine but I can't say I'm sad to see him go.
Let's see who gets to replace him.
