At Sarcastic Gamer, we have certainly enjoyed Phil Harrison’s tenure as head of SCE Worldwide Studios. Since the launch of the PS3, he has provided literally hundreds of juicy sound bites and quotes that helped put us on the map. As a tribute to this fine man and his adept verbal witchery, we humbly remind you of just how quickly a parody song can come back to bite you in the ass. Read my reluctant praise for Mr. Harrison after the jump. Last year, we penned and recorded the following parody song about how Phil and the boys had destroyed the Playstation brand, with their decision to include Blu-ray and their lack of support for third party developers. The song is literally platinum now, having inspired dozens if not hundreds of copycat videos on Youtube.

Now, as Phil makes his graceful exit from Sony, the PS3 is poised for a major comeback this year and Blu-ray has officially won the HiDef wars. The games are-a-coming and it looks like maybe, Phil knew what he was doing after all.

Phil, thanks for the laughs at your expense, and congratulations on what turned out to be either a genius comeback, or a dump truck load of dumb luck. Either way. Here’s lookin at you Phil. Best of luck at your new job with EA. (Just a wild guess!)
