^ in their defense, who really cares for MS Flight Simulator games nowadays????

Games for WIndows LIVE is a small operation as it is, gamerscore blog gives information that can be readily found on gaming news sites like Kotaku and even Xbox.com. Game testers are largely expendable and hardly essential as MS outsources their games to 3rd party studios (like Epic with Gears of War).

So really, its not all that bad. Sony on the other hand is cutting 16000 jobs, plus 2000 in Japan, plus more "headcount" reductions.

 

How many jobs is Sony Computer Entertainment cutting?

No one knows yet. Perhaps we'll get more information on Thursday (earnings report day).

 

 

That was pretty much my point, though I also thought that Kaz or someone had just said that SCE wouldn't be seeing cuts in game developers at all.  Maybe it was just that games in development wouldn't have their devs teams cut.
