The post has been split into two distinct top responsibilities, with Mr. Hulst mostly directing software and Mr. Nishino primarily handling hardware, in an uncommon move.
After thirty years with the firm, during which he oversaw the PlayStation 5’s debut, Mr. Ryan announced his resignation.
Beginning on June 1st, the two will take over for Sony Chief Operating Officer Hiroki Totoki, who served as acting CEO while the company searched for a replacement.
“These two leaders will oversee strategic direction and have well-defined roles to guarantee that the emphasis stays on expanding experiences to new audiences and strengthening ties with current PlayStation users.”
