What the hell is happening over at Sony? Lot's of people being fired and leaving these days...

Streamlining the company so that they can turn a profit from the success of the PS4, instead of leaking money like they did last generation. 

Yeah, but stream lining the company don't have anything to do with Amy or Jack leaving... And I don't see the need to sack 50 people over at Santa Monica, since PlayStation is one of Sony's stronger brands, and SM is a quality studio that pushes out good/great games that sell well.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

That sucks, he was the only tolerable presenter at E3.

Tretton? I always found him super-boring.

Wow. I loved Jack Tretton. Sry. He was just so swag and confident. Easily the best presenter at e3, even though they always made him talk about sales numbers and boring shit.
Shawn better be good.

Reggies E3 presentations is used to put people to sleep with insomnia, dunno about MS now with all the turnover, who knows about E3 for them.

Makes sense. Sony is a sinking ship with billion dollar quarterly losses and is expected to post another billion dollar quarterly loss. I wouldn't stay either.


Wha?
