Worrying signs for the sony! And I thought Nintendo was doomed

They are both still "doomed", only Sony need to re-organize their entire company and Nintendo needs to find a way to earn cash without being depended on the portable/console sales.

I heard selling buildings was a good way to get instant cash :P

Jokes aside not good news for those that lost their jobs. Not good news at all.

Yeah, I don't understand how Sony can trim down everywhere BUT their Japan studios...

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

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

OT

I'm guessing they need less studios since they decided to let Vita float on 3rd party and indies only.

Didnt know Sony Japan was a 3rd party studio...

Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m

Of course there is.

But before you close a studio, you start auditing it to see how viable it is and what can be done with it. They don't close studios just for the sake of closing them.

Spare me your guesswork, please.
