Phil Harrison Talks Atari and The Ghostbusters Game
November 7, 2008 | 9:52 AM PST

As recently reported, Atari has obtained the license to publish Sierra's Ghostbusters title, only now, they've finally gone on to officially announce it. And as you can see, ex-Sony bigwig Phil Harrison is really getting into it:
"Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a fantastic addition to Atari's global line-up in 2009."

"The title has built considerable anticipation and excitement among game fans for its high quality action and all-out mayhem. There's no more thrilling Ghostbusting experience to be had, short of building your own proton pack." -- Phil Harrison, Infogrames Entertainment President, to GamesIndustry.biz
Sony Pictures seems to be pretty happy with the arrangement, too:
"We're thrilled to partner with Atari on Ghostbusters: The Video Game. As one of our studios' most valued film franchises, we wanted to develop a video game that would be exciting for both new and old fans and with Atari we have a publisher that fully understands Ghostbusters, and is committed to producing engaging entertainment that fans will thoroughly enjoy." -- Mark Caplan, Vice President of Licensing-Hardlines for Sony Pictures Consumer Products, to GamesIndustry.biz
This is probably one of the best moves Atari has made in a long time.

For the sake of conjecture, however, I can't help but wonder why Sony Computer Entertainment didn't use a Sony Pictures license of such stature to give themselves a major exclusive, and just develop it in-house. Not that I'm complaining about how things turned out, mind; it just seems like one strange little thing in the neighborhood.
