Well, AS certainly has the language down already, how to make layoffs sound necessary even if there have to be other ways to cut costs. Well, it was to be expected, I guess. I just wonder how do you bring back a dying console by cutting and not actually trying to improve things.

New leader same BS - it seems that every " genius leader's" go to nowadays when they don't know what to do and are clueless about the industry that they are appointed to lead is to .... drum roll ... layoff people. And by people I mean the poor souls (individual contributors) who followed the previous leaderships strategic directives. Heres a thought AS, why don't you layoff all the sycophant leadership who created these strategic blunders to occur and leave the alone the IC, you will need them to rescue your org. Once you have done that look into the current ICs for talent who have vision and creativity that can lead to true innovation and not just sychophants who will do as they are told. Nah instead you will make one or two changes, shuffle around some people, but keep the same id--ts in place. Congratulations you have not changed anything just postponed Xbox's demise. To all the IC's good luck just remember you didnt create this mess your "genius" leadership did - proving one thing they're no smatter or better than you.
