This is a pretty telling statement. $200-$300 million budgets for every major release was not as sustainable as some would lead you to believe. 

They seem pretty set on increasing their output on PC as well. Mobile, we still have yet to see what Sony plans on doing. 

It's sad that it comes down to this. 

Budgets for PS Games have been increasing a lot, especially the licensing ones. But the Insomniac leak gave us a lot of info, it seems that PS first party games make profit and some more.

But 8% of their workforce is something significant tho. 

It honestly makes the situation all the more confusing. Especially with major studios like Insomniac and Guerrilla being hit. I think Guerrilla was confirmed to have lost 10% of their workforce. 

Insomniac having the studios biggest launch in their history.
