Phil Harrison, Sony's global head of game development, quits – PS3 disaster to blame?

It’s also his fault that Home is so massively delayed, and it’s no doubt also his problem that there were no Sony-published PS3 games in the Japanese top 50 charts last week – rather bad news for a company that loses money selling the hardware then apparently makes it all back on the games…
