First phase of Sony's plan to lay off 10,000 people underway

[QUOTE="JohnnyCageMK"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] No, real games, like the ones lems don't have.themajormayor

since we're make extreme and uneducated assumptions... I just saw this kid at the corner mart. He represents ALL uncharted and ps3 gamers...

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="JohnnyCageMK"] You mean high quality controller based exclusives like Halo 4 and Forza Horizon? TheEroica

I really don't get americans, pre-crisis the comments would have been ''Good, they're cutting down the fat.'' now it's "That's horible, I will pray for the fired people." It's like empathy for other countries only exists if a crisis or financial hard times hit america too. That aside,

It's indeed a shame they got layed off. Here's to hoping they can find another job soon.

You don't get Americans because you have us wrong.

Americans Collectively are the some of the most generous people in the world. Making Donations to charitable organizations and taking time to help out people struggling in the community. Most Americans don't find joy in other peoples misery. That being said there are always rotten apples in every culture. Generalizing Americans because a few silly fanboys is also silly.

The problem is not the economy. And it's not the gaming division. That just is one division of several.

With TV, many TV markers, not just Sony, have lost tens of million of dollars. Why? Market saturation, falling prices, shipping declines, falling profit margins, cheaper competition, and the flop of 3DTV.

With music, the market has changed, Apple has taken over, and Sony has failed to keep pace.

With home media, DVD business is declining, and while BD is growing, it's clear it has not been the runaway monster hit many were hoping it would be.

With computer, again, the market has changed. People are buying less desktops/laptops, and more tablets/smartphones, and Sony has failed to keep pace.

Also, let's face it. While Sony has been in trouble for a few years now, and again, it has bigger issues than the gaming division, the fact that Vita is doing really poor, so far, is not exactly helping,.

Still amazes me that when threads like this come up lems enjoy the fact that 10,000 people will be out of a job.

If the war on terror is "destroying 2 whole countries in the Middle East" then you sir are confused.

Also I would like a Link to a CREDIBLE source reporting about American business men who are buying up land and property in these same countries.

Manufacturing for almost all electronics companies happens in China. Its the only way to keep costs down.

Again just because a select few fanboys make silly comments doesn't mean they represent the entire U.S. population. To add to that you should already know they are being silly because they are posting in a Videogame Fanboy Forum. That alone means everything on here should be taken lightly.

they already downsized quite a bit in their games department between 2011 and 2012, isn't it enough already?

rilpas

Still at least twice as big as MS first-party.

No lem said that, it's funny cows seem to enjoy it the most as proved by the cow king PinnacleGamingP's comment on the first page. And I quote "finally, filtering the crap so now the games will be even more quality will real devs only remaining".

well sony is a failure of a company

they have no games this year, they give away ur personal info

company is a complete and uter train wreck this gen, nothing but a complete disaster since the launch of the ps3. A downward spiral into irrelevancy

Cows should just voluntarily pony up about 20 - 25 bucks a month for PSN and help'em out for crying out loud. :o I mean, PSN is at least worth that right ? :twisted:

Anyhoo, I'm thinking with the right leadership, things around the world will improve a great deal and hopefully people losing jobs for the past four years will find even better, higher paying work just around the corner or at least that's my hope.

Hang in there Sony. :cool:

I understand why the people who say "Good" think this way... Theyre still not old enough to have a job let alone responsibility. dobzilian

who has said "good" or anything similar besides pinnacle?
