Harrison Says: “That’s it, I’m outta here.”

Sony Bigman Phil Harrison will be leaving his current place of employ on February 29th (leap year. You didn’t forget, right?). You can almost hear echoing footsteps, the slam of the car door and the squeal of the tires.

Just last week, Harrison expressed his displeasure at Sony’s slow adoption of multiplayer gaming. Either he feels Sony Japan isn’t letting the Playstation grow to its potential, he simply needs a change, or someone keeps eating his potato salad out of the company fridge. That’s a real bitch right there.

Harrison joined Sony in 1992 and was a big hand in promoting and launching the Playstation and its successors. Where’s he off to? Joystiq speculates Atari. Maybe that’s why he’s leaving: Men love fixer-uppers.
