Even more Sony Lay-offs

The sony division called Sony Computer Entertainment America laid of employees today it seems. Seems low PS3 and PSP sales are really hurting them. They said it was for resructuring but what else are they going to say.

Cool. They are working toward a price drop.

PS3 isnt the only thing Sony makes, if sony is doing bad its not because the PS3 isnt selling, its because its not doing well in other sectors.BenTheJamin

Well its game division is the only one who is losing so much money, its other businesses is having to make that money up.

Cool. They are working toward a price drop.

"In an effort to accurately align the company to meet the changing needs of our consumers and of our industry, Sony Computer Entertainment America has found it necessary to analyze our current business and to restructure the company as necessary to continue our standing as the market leader,"SCEA spokesman Dave Karraker told Kotaku this evening,

I guess They lost the Memo in among the pink slips and reports of massive losses that they are in last place lol

if some 1st party developers got laid off, then it might effect the developing of 1st party games.

Typical cow response. When they're losing the war like they are now, they just pretend its not going on. That way they can't see a defeat. They can't see lost ground.

What's the shakspear quote they seem to be applying? "Ignorance is the greater part of losing" perhaps?

LOL...talk about grasping at staws, MS has cut jobs too as well as EA(http://kotaku.com/gaming/ea/more-on-ea's-layoffs-152469.php).  are they gonna fail too??  Whats typical is fanboys reading so much into the normal buisness moves in the buisness world.  Sony has a full generation of data to determine what works and what doesnt with their branches and where they can save money.  All buisness do this, its only the SW fanboys who read reshuffle and assume, sinking ship.  Of the thousands of jobs Sony provides you really believe a few hundred is a big deal.

I never said that this was a major setback for Sony, just that they are showing weakness. Will it have any major impact anywhere? Not really. However, it does show that Sony's game department is not completely protected by the success of the other departments. And it shows that all the money they have thrown down the drain on the PS3 and PSP is starting to catch up with them. Its a minor defeat. Its a sign of weakness that could foreshadow more defeat in the long run, or it could mean almost nothing. But it is definitely not good news for sony.

You obviously never have taken any business courses. Laying off an employee and having them leave the premises immediately is common practice in EVERY company, not just Sony.  Do you realize how much damage a pissed off manager or a network administrator with access to highly sensitive material can do to a company if they are allowed to finish out the work day or week. I also have first hand experience when it comes to be laid off and asked to leave the company immediately
