This was known last week. Too much manpower out there. Anyone relating this to Xbox one sales is really, really reaching.

The Nokia employees recently added, 25,000, are obvious targets as there will be much duplication in support staff.

MS has over 125,000 employees, so this represents a 5% cut and a possible annual saving of 600m dollars.

Quoted for maximum truth. At any rate with a company that big, at least 5% of it's employee base will leave naturally. 

They need to start trimming down though
