Sony are now getting rid of 400 employee's in Bridgend in Wales. Although they are not directly connected to the Playstation they still make the other hardware such as Diskmans, Walkmans, TV's, Stereo's and more. This will drop Sony's popularity.
This also shows that Sony are losing money! They need to cut costs so they decide to get rid of a few hundred workers. It's easy for the bosses as all they need to do is tick the names of the people they want to get rid of and then they have to go! If Sony want to cut costs they should cancel the Playstation 2!
This is the reason why Sony are cutting costs!
THe next gen. Sony console has been doing really bad in Japan. It's been selling ewll but the games haven't! People are using it more for DVD movies! with a drop in games sales Sony are making too many disks and not enough money! SO like I said before they just get rid of a few hundred employees.

I think that you need to bear in mind that Sony is a Global Company, in the biggest sense. 400 jobs in Bridgend (and those people have my deepest sympathy) is nothing to a company of this magnitude.
They can do a "reshuffle" now and again which costs them a few hundred jobs without batting an eyelid, and a shuffle of this size is only indicative of the fluctuating exchange rate, not as a direct result of the console and gaming market.

(There was a HUUUGGGEEE shutdown in Japan about a month back too, over the DVD factory. The DVD hardware was not "up to scratch", Sonys words, not mine.
Proves something though, in a way.)
