jesus christ we've had like 3 threads about this already. they're not close to being bankrupt. They 1 billion in assets 400 million in liabilities. Their profits were less than expected and RE4, DmC, Lost Planet didn't meet expectations but they still made profit. Resources could mean manpower because they're working on other things, money because they're spending it on other things they'd rather be spending things on that will net them a higher IRR. You lay people off because certain divisions are in the red while other parts are really profitable. So you cut the people that are lagging.
They were profitable every year including last, with one year in the negative all last gen. From my post in the other Capcom DOOMED threa

Here's a table of company's quick ratio taken from 2013 financial reports. It's more complicated than this, Revenue, Profit, direction, etc is all important. And the fact that their IP's failed to meet their expectations definetely hurts the companys longterm.
But the quick ratio is a good indicator on how likely they are to go belly up because of their ability to meet financial obligations. Despite all this bad news for Capcom they still made a profit unlike SE and Take 2. They made a profit despite having an underperforming year! (Though, SE has had FFXIV: ARR be more successful than expected and Take 2 has Grand Theft Auto 5 which are not indicated from 2013 financial reports).
| Company | Assets | Liabilities | Quick Ratio (Higher Is Better) |
| Nintendo | 16.3 Billion | 3.5 Billion | 4.65 |
| Actvision Blizzard | 13.4 Billion | 3.2 Billion | 4.19 |
| Capcom | 1.04 Billion | 410 Million | 2.53 |
| Sega Sammy | 528 Million | 208 Million | 2.53 |
| Square-Enix | 1.59 Billion | 807 Million | 1.97 |
| Take 2 | 1.277 Billion | 689 Million | 1.85 |
| EA | 5.07 Billion | 2.8 Billion |

| Sony | 155 Billion |
