Well, well, well, the
rumors turned out to be true. The former president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, Phil Harrison, is now president of French company Infogrames. Harrison will be working alongside newly appointed CEO David Gardner and will be overseeing the studios and content development for the group -- including the Infogrames-owned Atari.
As this comes as quite a surprise to many, Phil backs his decision by stating, "This is the perfect time to join Infogrames and help shape the future of Atari." Can the old Sony heavyweight do it? Can he help restore the
sinking ship that is Atari? We always want to see success, so we're hoping for the best. Score one for France.

Hmm..You think this is the same case as that guy that went with EA who used to be working for Microsoft? Meaning that Phil will take Atari to the PS3 side lol.

Good luck to him, hopefully he'll be back at Sony within 5 years and then he'll have the power to take the Playstation where it was meant to be.
