I believe that the first thing after Nadella's statement/letter last week was to start predicting on the number of job cuts, because the fact that there will be cuts was certain.
I wonder if that XBox part is correct, especially with the entire department being in the UK (didn't know that, but it's not surprising). What could that mean? Staying focused on UK only, disregarding the mainland Europe?
Also, very strange if that happens now, given the timing of imminent release of XOne to Tier 2 EU countries (11 in EU, 4 outside of EU). Even if those countries are smaller and less relevant, surely this would impact the potential market penetration. And also, the rest of EU and East European countries are guaranteed never to get MS/XB support (at least nothing would change there from the X360 era).
