Det vides ikke hvad Andrews planer er fremadrettet, men han udtaler at han ønsker at søge nye udfordringer:
"PlayStation has been a huge part of my life for more than 20 years but with the business having achieved record-breaking success, now seemed to be the right time for me to pursue new challenges.
I shall always treasure the friendships and people that have made SIE such a wonderful place to work. I'm also grateful to PlayStation fans and gamers around the world for their loyalty and support. John [Kodera] and the team at SIE are world-class and I know the future of PlayStation is very bright."
Andrew blev ansat hos Sony tilbage i 1990 og var med til at lancere den første PlayStation i 1995. Han var også medvirkende i udgivelsen og den fortsatte succes af PlayStation 4.
Sonys administrerende direktør, Kazuo Hirai udtaler om Andrew:
"When I passed the baton of leadership for Sony Computer Entertainment to Andrew House in 2011, I was confident that I was leaving the PlayStation business in the best possible hands, and so it has proved. Andy and I go back more than 20 years and spent much of this time together, dedicating ourselves to ensuring the success of the PlayStation business. I would like to thank Andy for his contribution over many years, and wish him every success in the future."
Andrews erstatning har været ved Sony siden 1992 og har i mange tilfælde arbejdet tæt med Andrew i forbindelse med produktudvikling og forretningsstrategier.
