Sony Doing Better – Playstation Isn’t

I doubt they’re giving up, but it’s also clear they put a lot into the PS4 and need to make it pay off.  The Playstation Division is basically operating at a loss.

Keep it in mind if you work in gaming or at Sony – or want to.

Capcom Suffers Layoffs

Get the details – except there aren’t many.

I’ve touched on this before, but I’ll re-iterate it – right now the games industry does not seem to be a good career choice unless you are very, very smart and careful.  Too much turnover, too much unpredictability, a weird console market, and fissures among game types and budgets.

So tread carefully (or do it yourself).
