Phil Harrison, a former PlayStation and Xbox veteran, is moving
from the gaming space to the technology world and announced on
Twitter that he is joining Google as a vice president and GM.
Harrison spent over 15 years at Sony, from 1992 to 2008, where he
helped the growth of Sony Computer Entertainment's European arm,
with a particular focus on the PlayStation hardware.
After a few years of moving between companies, he landed at
Microsoft in 2012, where he worked in the Interactive
Entertainment Team for three years.

Excited to be able to share that today I've started a new role as Vice President and GM of Google - and relocating (back) to California.
Sony and Microsoft executives, like Xbox's official evangelist
Larry Hyrb, worldwide boss Phil Spencer, and Sony Interactive
Entertainment's global head Shawn Layden congratulated him on the
move.
More recently,
Harrison invested in some augmented reality (AR) and virtual
reality (VR) firms, like The Dream Reality, and although it's
not clear what exactly he will be doing at Google, there's a good
chance AR and VR will somehow be involved.
