Do you think Sony will shut down some first party studios?

They probably will close some studios or at least make studios smaller. SCE has more employees than Nintendo, to support two platforms with declining software sales (PS2/PSP) and a console which is nowhere near as big as Sony's previous ones (PS2/PS1).

Sony's Electronics division already had massive layoffs, 5-10% of their employees in fact (depending on whether the temp ones were counted under the total). I don't see many reasons to believe that the Games division will be immune to cost cutting. They're too big for the PS3.

There's a chance that Sony decides the games division is untouchable... I wouldn't bet on it though.

 

Well the first party studios are making money (apparently) so why would they cut down on there profitable division? Hmm business, some of you would run a company into the ground within seconds.

As a whole I'm sure they'll make money, if nothing else due to the heavy hitters like GT5 and God of War 3. But individually, I'd be surprised if no studio was losing money.
