Sony To Close "Major Divisions" Next Month
By Luke Plunkett, 4:30 AM on Mon Jan 5 2009, 6,090 views
Times are tough all over right now, but times are especially tough at Sony. They've only just announced plans to axe thousands of employees, and already The Times reckon things are about to get worse.
While Sony are all "no we're not" on the speculation/leak, The Times insist that next month, Sony will not only announce the closure of several factories in Japan, but will go so far as to shut down some of their "major divisions".
That's where our interest is piqued. Sony only have a few "major divisions", and the money-leaking PlayStation group is one of them. And while it's hard to imagine Sony pulling the plug on one of the most famous brands this industry has ever seen, it's equally hard to imagine them pulling out of televisions or digital cameras, either.
Anyway, Sony aren't commenting, and we've got three weeks to see how this pans out. Stay. Tuned.
Only a rumor at this point but like the article says if they do indeed shut down any major divisions the Playstation division is at the biggest risk To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Video games are not doing hot right now with the economy. Both Microsoft and Sony have been losing a ton of money from their gaming divisions for years now but with the economy won't be able to afford to keep taking those losses and a lot of other developers and publishers have already been shut down or have made a lot job of cuts. Even EA who are the biggest publisher in the industry are in a lot of trouble right now and have been closing down development studios trying to save the company.

Maybe they just need to reorganize it. But yeah Gamestop in particular is doing like 8% above the previous year I think..
I can't see this happening, one of the most famous game console makers
getting rid of the PlayStation division.
Its unthinkable really.
I am sure there was a time when people said that about Sega too. And Sega were not even close to losing as much money with the Dreamcast as Sony are losing on the PS3 while also not dealing with a failing worldwide economy like Sony are now.
