It's disappointing to see him go, but as long as he's still working on things, I'm interested in seeing what he comes up with next.

This can't mean anything good for the PS3.

I wouldn't say his departure wasn't good for the ps3, I'd say the ps3 wasn't good for his career. Wasn't he one of the strongest proponents of blueray when it was being designed?
Oh, and I suppose I should pay my respects for all he has done. Here I go.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER!!! RIDGE RACER!
