Well what do you know they were right: Phil Harrison, former president of Sony's game development studios, has joined the parent company of ailing game publisher Atari to focus on the development of online gaming.
Infogrames, owner of the Atari brand, announced today that Harrison has been appointed President and "Directeur Général Délégué" of the Lyon, France-based company.
Today, Infogrames said that Harrison, one of the founding members of the PlayStation team at Sony, will "grow the Atari brand into a leading online game company."

Heath Ledger's death leaves studio giants Warner Bros. facing a
balancing act as they promote the actor's last film, the big-budget
Batman sequel The Dark Knight, industry analysts say.
Even before Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment, buzz had been building about the 28-year-old Australian actor's performance in the film, where he plays the caped crusader's arch-foe The Joker.
Early trailers and promotional posters for the movie show a gruesomely made-up Ledger, suggesting the Oscar-nominated star has taken the character of the comic-book villain in a groundbreaking new direction.
Analysts say the anticipation surrounding the movie - due to be released in the United States in July - is likely to intensify with fans morbidly curious to watch Ledger's posthumous final screen performance.
NEW YORK (AFP) — Australian-born actor Heath Ledger, 28, the co-star
of the Oscar-winning movie "Brokeback Mountain," was found dead in his
New York residence on Tuesday, police said.
"Heath Ledger was found dead at 3:26 pm this afternoon," a police spokesperson said, saying he was found in his residence in the posh district of Soho. "We don't know the cause of the death."
The entertainment website TMZ said Heath was discovered by a maid in his bed in his Manhattan apartment, adding that "law enforcement sources ... believe it was not a crime."
The New York Times said Ledger was discovered by the housekeeper and a masseuse who arrived in the afternoon for an appointment.
They knocked on the door, but "when no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed. They shook him, but he did not respond," the Times said.
The newspaper quoted officials as saying pills were found near the body, but gave no further details.
Ledger, who was nominated for a best actor Oscar for his portrayal of a gay cowboy in the 2005 film "Brokeback Mountain," had separated from his former fiancee Michelle Williams in September. The pair has a two-year-old daughter.
The film's director Ang Lee had hailed Ledger's performance as a "miracle" of acting, reminiscent of a young Marlon Brando.
Ledger lost the Oscar for best actor that year to Phillip Seymour Hoffman for his portrayal of author Truman Capote in "Capote," but "Brokeback Mountain" won three Academy Awards, including for best director.
