Andrew House took Sony to the top of the video game console business with the PlayStation 4, and then he walked away from it. House served for 27 years at Sony in various roles, lastly as the president of Sony Interactive Entertainment. But he stepped down in the fall. You might think he would go quietly into the sunset. But House is going to speak at GamesBeat 2018 in a fireside chat with Mike Vorhaus, president of Magid Advisors. Their talk is entitled, “Consoles: The past and the future?”

I’m very much looking forward to hearing from House, who has a delightful Welsh accent and years of stories and wisdom about running one of the most difficult jobs in the video game business.
