After 15 years at Sony Computer Entertainment, where I had the chance to be part of something really special, and I'm incredibly proud of everything that company has achieved, the things that excited me the most, the things that turned me on as a gamer, and as a business person, and as a creative person were the future of our industry, the connected community experiences. All the things we're starting to see emerge that are really exciting players around the world. And those are the things I started thinking about in terms of creating a company or getting involved with a company to really shape and direct a business towards that future. |

eye noo it
He was bored with the business side of things and just wanted to jump into heading a team to follow his vision of what an awesome game would be and has found a perfect spot with a "down on their luck" small dev team that really has nothing to loose if Harrison did send them in the wrong direction.
When older people think video games, they think Atari. It's got a classic name that people could get re-energized about. I could see some video game generation war far, far in the future being just Nintendo vs Atari. Oldschool company vs olderschool company. It seems like Phil Harrison has a plan and he's ready to get his hands dirty building a new company practically from the ground up. I think he can do it. Maybe the president of Microsoft's gaming division could quit and join Sega. That would be an intense turn of events if it was Nintendo, Sega, and Atari in a video game war again like when it was the NES, Sega Master System, and the Atari 7800.
Dream on, neither sega nor atari have the funds to create their own console in todays market.
the only thing they will be sticking to are games.
Also, ever thought what nintendo might pull in the next generation ? There isn't much room left for innovation now is there ?
I bet Atari got a plan by 2012....new game console? maybe.
Yknow how when Peter Moore went to EA, the quality of 360 games from EA were crazy better than PS3 games?
I wonder if Phil Harrison going to Atari will make the PS3 games from there way better than 360. I know there's no real conspiracy or anything, but makes you kinda wonder what if.
EA had problems with 360 to PS3 ports long before Peter Moore moved to EA Sports. They didn't get worse when Peter Moore joined them (if anything, EA's PS3 versions are getting better). :)
Hence I wouldn't expect Phil Harrison's move to Atari to have any effect on the relative quality between the 360 and PS3 versions of their games.
Give me a break,He got canned.
