I always thought it was strange that there was such a disconnect between what went on at SCEI and all the stuff SOE put out. It's good to tighten the reigns though - maybe SCEI will share some of the success of SOE.

I gotta say though, PS3's got a long way to go before it becomes the "premier platform for next generation online gaming," in my opinion. It's getting better, but it's certainly not there yet.

Well reporting to SCEI makes more sense then reporting to Sony Pictures.

Looks like Smedley will get to destroy even more MMOs on a different platform!

Smed's major failing has been caving to pressure from Yair/SPE and their bottom line. With them out of the picture, I think you can expect higher quality from SOE going forward.

This part is far too late.
Everquest 2 and a new PlanetSide were EXPECTED by us PS3 users to be quite frank. THAT is a big part of the letdown.
With no Everquest 2 to scare them, Square has been a bunch of Lazy Fricks, of Kojiman proportions, with a new FF Online. Also, Planetside would have squisshed Halo hardcore if done right,or at all.

Although theoretically reigning SOE sounds good since that's how Nintendo restructured Retro Studios, it could turn out to increase red tape. Increase distance. Increase miscommunication. Increase tensions between branches. And probably dramatically decrease the amount of games coming out for PS2. There's a major danger in losing the PS2's still profitable games coming out and the only place to go would be Wii. I mean would Kaz have concentrated on Buzz and SingStar for Europe if he were in charge?
