1) Common sense. Big corporations do not shut down popular assets of their business on a whim. They will have though about this quite considerably, justified the decision etc. 2) Sony's financial statements (which are audited so that they are reasonably fair, true, accurate) let us know that the big losses are coming from the TV business. SCE has made profit not too long ago times and it's recent loss was probably primarily due to falling demand across the gaming industry and lower than expected Vita sales - not because it has too many studios. And of course Sony's divisions affect each other, but big TV losses do not directly lead to one game studio getting shut down. Also consider that this move will no doubt cost them more in the short term... Trust me, this isn't a quick-fix to help the financials. |
@1. Our common sense agrees, obviously. The reason is what I was asking you about, not the urgency of the cause (which we agree on...).
I was asking you, how do you know it's due to restructure and not due to lack of resources to sustain the studio due to other divisions, or even both?????
@2. Where did I ever say big TV losses directly lead to one game studio shutting down? I am just saying that it very clearly appears that Sony is in a difficult financial situation for whatever reason (and I'm aware it's not SCE for your info), and as a result they need to either restructure or close studios.
Denial is a bad thing, and the closing of studios is as well.
