No one is going to come out and say it, but Kutaragi was fired over PS3, and now he's forced into retirement. It's time to move on, obviously things aren't working too well with Kutaragi. Better than Nintendo, they held on to Yamauchi for decades.

The first thing I thought when I saw the article at IGN was that he was forced into it also. I don't think sony would admit any weakness at this point, so they're probably the ones who decided to hide it... but.. with how some sites word what happend, it'd look almost just as bad.
