Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Sony’s big GDC surprise didn’t turn out to be anything about Home, LittleBigPlanet, a new PS3 SKU, or in-game XMB. The big surprise is Phil Harrison is resigning from the Presidency of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios as of February 29th, just a few short days from now.

To be fair it wasn’t announced until early this morning, so it didn’t happen during GDC, but still it’s something that surprised me. The PS3 is just starting to get some traction in the marketplace, perhaps more due to the win of Blu-ray than anything their games division is doing, but still it’s something positive to trumpet. Maybe this will be what Harrison writes on his resume when going on interviews.

I’m going to miss him. He was well spoken and the media seemed to enjoy his press conferences and delivery of announcements. He did extremely well at GDC 2007 when revealing and demonstrating Home and introducing LittleBigPlanet, so I’m wondering what other major gaming-related company he might land at. Could be Microsoft. Could be Electronic Arts. Could be Activision Blizzard or whatever that company is called now. Until he steps forward and says where he’s going people will be watching and waiting to find out where he went and, even more importantly, why.
