1UP:Speaking to Reuters Japan this week (via Hachimaki), Sony Computer Entertainment President Kaz Hirai described the PlayStation Network as "in the red" but believed that it would turn a profit during the next fiscal year.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "what better wait to wish him well in his future endeavors than to recall our favorite moments from his time at Sony? That’s what we’re doing today in a special KOTRC that looks back at the man, the legend, the Kaz."
My favorite moment is when he turned the Sony ship around resulting in almost the utter destruction of their opponent in every important metric you can come up with that shut the mouths of the opposition and the naysayers that Sony would not be in the driver's seat. Resulting in worthless metrics from other parties to cover up the truth.
My most favorite moment.
I have a lot of favorite Kaz Hirai moments, but it's inappropriate to mock him at this retirement.
it's ridge racer
Former Sony CEO and PlayStation boss Kaz Hirai has retired. He will remain a senior adviser for the company following 35 years of service.
he deserves to just kick back on a beach somewhere earning 20%.. Thank you for all you have done Kaz.

so PSN in profit next year as well as the console. no wonder they just bought that factory back
@Ziro: PSN is free. Sony only make profit from PSN from things like HOME and virtual goods. of course they have PS+ now, but that won't be the only reason they are making profit. it's simple: Sony have over 60 million people on PSN and EVERY PS3/PSP owner has somewhere to store purchases
making profit with out charging 60 bucks a year
Must be due to PSN Plus why they are making a profit.
Quite shocking that they have been in the red all this time vs MS who makes $1bn a year on XBL.
It's a shame that sony don't make a lot of money from the ps3. I feel so bad for them. Hopefully they make a lot over the next few years.

Sony 'til I die
I'm surprised they're not already making a profit considering the prices of the PS3 games that are available on the store. £19.99 for MAG? £31.99 for Prototype? Pfft. =/
