According to Japanese newspaper Nikkei, former Sony Computer Entertainment America boss Kazuo Hirai is to replace Howard Stringer as the corporation's president. Sony is having none of it though, rejecting the report in an official statement over the weekend
Hirai currently serves as Sony's vice president and leads its consumer products and services division. He's been long-rumoured to be the next in succession for the top job after a string of financial losses at the firm. Nikkei reports that Stringer would remain as Sony chairman and CEO after Hirai's promotion.
PC World does not quote a Sony statement directly, but notes that the company "issued a terse press release [which said] that it has made no official announcement or decision."
