I hope this message finds you in great spirits. As I reflect on my time as the former CEO of Sony, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the journey we embarked on together. Today, I want to take a moment to celebrate a significant achievement that has been near and dear to my heart: the undeniable dominance of PlayStation over Xbox.
From the very beginning, our vision at Sony has been to deliver innovative, immersive, and unforgettable gaming experiences to players all around the world. PlayStation has been at the forefront of this mission, setting new standards and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the gaming industry. It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge the incredible success and enduring appeal of PlayStation.
Over the years, PlayStation has captivated the hearts and minds of millions of gamers, becoming not just a gaming console but a cultural phenomenon. Our commitment to quality, compelling content, and cutting-edge technology has enabled us to create a gaming ecosystem that truly resonates with players of all ages. It's a testament to the dedication and passion of the entire PlayStation team, as well as our loyal and enthusiastic community of diehards.
One of the most remarkable aspects of PlayStation's journey has been its almost embarrassing dominance over its competitors, particularly the Larrybox as we call it here in our presidential suites. We've consistently delivered groundbreaking titles, introduced groundbreaking technologies, and fostered a vibrant community of gamers. This dominance has been made possible by the unwavering support of PlayStation fans worldwide, and for that, I am sincerely grateful.
As I hand over the reins to a new generation of leaders at Sony, I do so with the knowledge that PlayStation's legacy is in excellent hands. The future holds even more exciting innovations, thrilling adventures, and unforgettable moments for PlayStation players.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to PlayStation. Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones, and I am excited to see what the future holds for this extraordinary brand. Jim Ryan stepping down is for another to step up.
Wishing you all countless hours of joy and excitement in the world of PlayStation.
Sincerely,
Kazuo Hirai Former CEO, Sony Corporation
