Sony on Saturday denied a report that it has decided to promote the head of its consumer product division, Kazuo Hirai, to lead the company from April.
The company was responding to an article in Japan’s main business newspaper, the Nikkei, that Hirai would replace current President Howard Stringer. Sony issued a terse press release that it had made no official announcement or decision.

In the announcement of his promotion to his current role from April of last year, Sony said its management changes were aimed at “empowering the next generation of Sony’s management.”
Hirai has recently appeared at many key events for the company, including the announcement of its second-quarter results in November and the launch of its PlayStation Vita in Tokyo last month.
