According to Sony Computer Entertainment though, the games departments are least likely to be affected by the cost-cutting measures.
This echoes the statement made by SCEE that they have no plans of reducing their numbers. This is a comfort to know, since their electronics business got the brunt of the restructuring, with a manufacturing plant closing down in Japan, and their TV design operations losing 30% of their headcount.
The biggest effects of the cost-cutting plans on the PS Group revealed so far is an increase in expected losses, by about US$ 337 million, and lowering their projected sales of the PSP for the year. Still, it seems we can breathe a little easier until Sony decides to reveal their plans for which divisions will be affected by the restructuring.
