Andrew House, the president of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has resigned from his post, and current deputy president, Tsuyoshi “John” Kodera, is taking over effective immediately.

House has been an institution at Sony for decades, and he presided over Sony’s big comeback in games with the launch of the PlayStation 4, which is in a dominant position with more than 60 million units sold as of June. Sony’s nearest competitor, Microsoft, has sold just half that number of its rival Xbox One consoles.
