PlayStation UK boss Fergal Gara, who resigned from Sony in September, has joined Amazon UK as director of PC. This was revealed by MCV though it’s unclear what Gara’s role entails for Amazon UK.

Gara played an instrumental role as PlayStation UK boss, handling marketing, finance, sales and other roles. Having joined in September 2011, Gara was in charge of both UK and Ireland business for PlayStation and helped the brand reach third place in terms of console market share. The PS4’s release saw the console become the top selling gaming console in the UK.

Gara’s role as PlayStation UK boss was subsequently taken up by Warwick Light, who served as general manager of PlayStation for Eastern Europe and the Nordics. We’ll find out what Amazon UK and Gara have in store for the future so stay tuned for more details and let us know what you think in the comments.

Capcom revealed at the recent PlayStation Experience that Street Fighter 5 would be exclusive to the PS4 (though it would also be on PC). Needless to say, there was plenty of discussion about the same especially since it mirrored Microsoft’s (timed) exclusive publishing of Rise of the Tomb Raider for Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Speaking to IGN, PlayStation UK boss Fergal Gara talked about the exclusivity deal. “I wasn’t involved, so how it came about I can’t comment on, but I think it’s another fantastic example of how our heritage provides some fantastic opportunities not just to reminisce but to look forward as well.

“Obviously it’s a classic from earlier PlayStation days, but now it’s being reintroduced for the PS4 era. It was a huge hit on PlayStation, so I guess you could say Street Fighter’s natural home is on PlayStation. Now, I’m delighted that’s going to happen again in this cycle.”

Street Fighter 5 will be out in 2015 for the PS4 and PC with cross-platform play.
