Wow, amazing how quickly people are impugning my motivations or tone. I'm sorry Sony is in such dire financial straits and are forced to keep laying off people from their divisions, including the gaming division. I feel sorry for the hard working individuals who are put out of a job because of the company's money-losing strategies. But acting like I'm a jerk for posting this news here or that I'm somehow happy that innocent people are out of a job is uncalled for. This is news that ought to be reported, and insulting me isn't helpful.
How is what I say uncalled for? Sony sold major buildings, including their original headquarters, closed over two thirds of their US retail locations, laid off a huge amount of one of their game studios, and then a couple weeks later, this is announced. And they are still posting a multi-billion dollar loss for the year, while their hit video game console loses them a small amount of money for each system sold. Why exactly should I sugarcoat this for people who don't want to hear it? |
Nothing wrong with reporting the news, its just that your insight is lacking. Many already said your specific pointing out of Sony fans, the second is that Kaz has had Sony in rebuild mode going on two years now. If he feels that the company is too large in its current state (and it is for the business its doing 140k employees) i dont see what the problem is in addressing it.
Ladies and gentlemen if you want to see daily layoffs you can go to this site here:

Listed are companies such as sony who are laying off folks (well documented), you have Radio Shack closing a bunch of stores (also struggling), but you have company such as IBM, Intel and Bank of America, insanely profitable companies who are laying off people as well. It cuts both ways People are continuing to chapmion Sony do nothing about its problems and let their demise occur quicker, at least they are addressing some things.
