Didn't we just hear about SCE layoffs a couple months ago? that would make this the second time...

That was SCEE - Sony Europe. They do have a rather large workforce though, trimming off a bit of the fat *might* help.

Note that it won't help in the short term though - those severance payments really DO hurt a company (100 employees is nothing though really... 1000 would hurt!).

Time for Sony to focus on hardware, and leave software/games to other companies...

 

 

They can't leave software to other companies. If they don't make games for their own platform, who will? And who will be the one responsible for getting the number of consoles sold up to a reasonable level which encourages 3rd parties to develop games?
