The remote play functionality between PS4 and PS Vita has been seen by many as a strong selling point for Sony’s portable console, up to the point that it could considerably raise its adoption within the gaming audience, that has been growing but isn’t yet stellar.
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Asia President Hiroshi Kawano seems to understand that very well.
Sony Computer Entertainment have announced that Hiroshi Kawano, the current president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia will step down from his position on August 31.
Sony is forecast to lose billion at the end of this fiscal year so it doesn't surprise me.
It could also be that working at such high positions for 29 years earned him a lot of money to retire.
You dont care about facts eh? Just whatever you believe. Fact Sony has a 19 billion, Nintendo 16 billion. Yeah, Nintendo has more money.
And Tbone, is all you do is troll? Why are you so obsessed with Sony?
Bunch of Xbox fanboys clamoring over this I see. How anyone can agree with you is beyond me.
It was already stated that he is retiring. So, it has nothing to do with sony losing money.
Hiroshi Kawano is retiring from Sony, it has been announced. Kawano was the president of both Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Sony Computer Entertainment Asia.
other than handhelds, console sales have been down in sales for a long time in Japan. a boost here and there but nothing like it used to be.
Not exactly this guys fault that the ps4 isn't selling well in Japan.
What does him retiring have to do with the troubles of the PS4? The guy has been working for Sony since 1985, so that's 29 years employed at one company. Maybe the guy wanted to just retire already. Not everything is a conspiracy dude.
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has been the weakest link for years, on his watch the PlayStation brand declined heavily he should have pushed with strong ideas but they were too few and too week.
Thank you for the service sir, enjoy a life of leisure and gardening and your new boss; Mrs Kawano!
If only Sony Computer Entertainment Hiroshi Kawano was this good at soccer! The Sony exec recently admitted that he needed some postproduction help for this online clip. Just in time for the World Cup, huh?
HOLY SNAPS this clip is funny as hell XD NeoGaf will go nuts about this for sure, I expect to see some related gifs after Sony E3 conference

Don't think only North American call it as soccer...
Vita better have some JRPGs at GTS
Kotaku showed a big number of upcoming Vita games, but the PS4vsXB1 noise was to strong for them to get thru and for game sites to talk about it.
This feature will be neat! If you are tired of playing on the big screen or forced like me because the girlfriend wants to watch her soaps.. You can go further on the vita:D
Hopefully the next naruto game on ps4 has remote play.
i read that Sony said that remote play is part of the PS4 hardware and they are only asking developers to include a controll scheme for Vita. Too cool...
In addition to remote play, I am hoping they can also make the vita as a second screen device for the PS4 as well. Apparently they are doing that for the Deus Ex remake coming out, but I want to see it for more games, like Watch Dogs, The Division, and Need for Speed Rivals, which all can use 'tablets' for second screen activities...why not have the vita be the second screen?
