PlayStation CEOs Hideaki Nishino and Hermen Hulst Reveal How New Two-Business Strategy Impacts Studio, Console Plans (EXCLUSIVE)


New PlayStation CEOs Hideaki Nishino and Hermen Hulst sit down for their first interview together after assuming their roles.

(Editor’s note: Variety’s interview with Sony Interactive Entertainment CEOs Hermen Hulst and Hideaki Nishino occurred on Oct. 16, prior to PlayStation’s Tuesday announcement it is shutting down Firewalk Studios and Neon Koi. In early 2023, for example, Netflix installed double CEOs to pilot the streamer — and so far, Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters have overseen impressive growth and stock-market highs. At the same time, PlayStation drew praise for new platformer “Astro Bot” and has built back cred with fans with the announcement of “Ghost of Tsushima” sequel “Ghost of Yōtei.” The division also is riding high on anticipation for Season 2 of HBO’s megahit adaptation of PS game “The Last of Us” and Amazon’s new “God of War” series.
