An intriguing piece of tittle tattle has bobbed to the surface of the rumour pond suggesting that Phil Harrison - now president of Infogrames - parted ways with Sony Worldwide Studios because of the impending PlayStation 4 project.

Get your salt cellar ready. This comes from "Highly placed sources" who share no names. VideoGaming247 reports it was told, “He could see he was about to get involved in another PlayStation cycle, and obviously wanted something new... The same thing was happening again and he’d been through it enough times to want to move on.”

As we said, give this one an unhealthily generous dose of salt.

Harrison's departure from Sony was very surprising to many. He had weathered the storm of the console's teething troubles only to move on when the going seemed to be getting good. Within a week of walking out of Sony's doors, Harrison re-surfaced at Infogrames as president and Directeur Général Délégué.
