Sony is reportedly contemplating a shake-up of its US operations and a merger between Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Interactive Entertainment, claims The New York Post.
The move, should such a merger proceed, would see Sony Interactive Entertainment boss Andrew House acquire “oversight over but likely not daily control of the studio,” sources have allegedly told The Post.
For its part, Sony has adamantly dismissed the report.
“This is nothing but baseless rumor and speculation,” a Sony spokesperson told The Post. “There are no plans to for [sic] Andrew House to oversee Sony Pictures.”
Sony Interactive Entertainment recently announced that the PlayStation 4 has now surpassed 50 million units sold as of December 6. The company also confirmed it had the best Black Friday week in the history of PlayStation.
Sony Pictures also made headlines this week following the debut of the first trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming, plus the news that a web-swinging sequel to Homecoming is already scheduled for July 5, 2019.
