SCEE Boss Steps Down.

David Reeves, president of Sony Entertainment Europe, and Deputy President of Sony Entertainment INC is set to retire on April 30th. It's been a long journey since David started at Sony, joining back in 1995. Reeves was there when the PS1 was released. He was a major person who was responsible for some of its success. He then continued to show his talents, shifting millions of PSP's and PS2's as well. You may know him from the SCEE speeches he use to do i.e At Playstation Day. His presence has resulted in many, many PS3's getting sold. We wish him a happy retirement.

“David’s contribution in firmly establishing the PlayStation brand and expanding the business in Europe/PAL territories in his 14 year tenure at SCEE is immeasurable,” said Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to David for the many accomplishments he made to the PlayStation business and wish him the best luck in his future endeavours.”

“It has been a wonderful ride with PlayStation,” said David Reeves. “I never got to visit all 106 countries but managed 66. I have just two things to say on leaving: I want to thank all of those people who have supported SCEE and me personally in the past 14 years; you have been magnificent! Secondly, I am going to spend my time now trying to repay society for all I have taken from it. If your children are having physics lessons at the local school or wondering why their ski instructor is very elderly, your car mechanic has a bad back, or the social worker keeps bringing you PSP games, then it could just be me! Good luck to everybody at SCEE and everybody who continues to support us.”

Andrew House will take Reeves place starting on the 1^st of May.
