Tretton said the following in a statement:

"Working at SCEA for the past 19 years has been the most rewarding experience of my career. Although I will deeply miss the talented team at SCEA and the passion demonstrated every day by our fans, I'm very excited about starting the next chapter of my career. I want to thank the employees, partners and customers for their tireless commitment to the PlayStation brand and, of course, to our fans who have pushed us to new heights of innovation and entertainment over the past two decades. I leave PlayStation in a position of considerable strength and the future will only get brighter for PlayStation Nation."​

His replacement, Layden, said the following:

"It's an honor and privilege to join Sony Computer Entertainment America and be a part of the team that is leading the next generation of gaming and entertainment. SCEA is committed to delivering breakthrough gaming experiences that inspire fans and exceed their wildest expectations. As PS4™ shows us every day, there has never been a better time to be part of the PlayStation community and I look forward to working with our retail, development, publishing and network partners to further demonstrate why PlayStation is the best place to play."

this engrish speaking fakkit butchered his weak attempt at humor

You might have a point if it wasn't a PARODY account.

Seriously though, this sucks. Tretton is that nikka and had a huge role in Sony turning around the PS3.

That ether he put on MS last summer is probably one of the most memorable moments at E3.

Bad move by Sony if he wanted more money...Jack da gawd killed Mattrick and Microsoft with his presentation at E3

Probably one of the most unbelievable moments in console wars history. That ass whooping was brutal! He did his job and now is moving on. You can give him credit for helping Sony achieve success in that aspect. Watch..he will get picked up quickly by another company and then we will hear from him again in five years.
