There is anxiety in Culver City today as word gets around on the Sony lot that significant layoffs are coming as soon as Monday. “You wouldn’t be wrong to describe it as a high state of panic over here,” said one.

This time affecting its Hollywood arm in movies & entertainment. Sony continues to lose money after a string of flop films that included After Earth and White House Down. Dire times indeed for Sony, if this keeps up Sony can't survive on the PS4 alone.

Probably a sign that it's going to be yet another bad yearly financial statement.

It's the insurance side of the company that keeps Sony alive not the playstation.....

Its funny how Sony's successful business is "insurance". I already took mine and bought an Xbox One. Its a doomed company. GAME OVER.

White House Down was a lot better than I thought it'd be.

Why doesn't sony just shut down every iteration of their business besides insurance and the game sector? it would be far easier than trying to float the rest of their company with just those two.

Meanwhile on GAMING NEWS the xbox one continues to be heavily outsold by the PS4 and Tinfall fail to knock the PS4 down from the charts like MS and fanboys expected..

More news at 10..
