| CMoney said: this is a false rumor generated by desperate sony fanboys to deflect attention away ferom sony's struggles and the failing ps3. Microsoft is not going to be laying off anybody en mass, unlike sony's 16,000 worker job cut fiasco |
I came across the story in Norway's second biggest newsoutlet (Dagbladet.no) and assumed it held a fraction of truth. But you do realize that all companies are having a hard time now, right? No one has stated that MS' gaming division is in any kind of trouble, its the other divisions that are having a little trouble. I suppose the Chrysler, Ford and GM and endless line of bankrupt banks are also just fanboy nonsense then? Entire nations have gone bankrupt (fact) so there's no denying that all major companies (and minor, a whole slew in my area) will suffer from it to some extent.
I have no problem believeing that Sony need to lay off thousands of workers, it seems natural with they strong yen hurting export and folks aren't exactly mad about spending their pay on TV's stereo's and other media when they can barely handle their mortgages.
