Kaz Hirai to be named President of Sony

A report in Nikkei claims that Sony will be naming Kazuo Hirai as President of the company in April.

Hirai came through the ranks after heading the PlayStation division in North America, and has long been one of the key faces behind the success of the brand. The successful game division stands in stark contrast to the terrible position of their television market, which is forecasting a $1.2 billion loss for the year.

Currently, Hirai is Executive Deputy President, though there is no new who will take his spot. Howard Stringer will remain CEO and Chairman, and will maintain those duties while working on his grand plan to unify the fragmented corporation into a singular organization.
