Bill gates being an "honorary chairman" of Msoft and Kutaragi being one at Sony is a huge difference. Ken does not work at Sony an longer nor does anyone from Sony call the guy for advice on how to run the Playstation brand. In Japan some people commit suicide after being let go, I am sure Sony spared him the cultural humiliation of failing by giving him some dumb "honorary title".
It is really here nor there. Ken's time had passed him bye hence his "retirement", demotion, and eventual departure.
Anyone advocating that Sony should use a non-conventional cpu chip has not been paying attention to this gen. The Cell was one of the downfalls of Sony hence why the company sold off the chip as soon as new management was hired. They also fired Ken Katarugi who was the brains behind Sony's exotic processors (Emotion Engine, and Cell). I can guarantee that Sony will be using a conventional chip in their next game console.
