Craziest stat from Xbox's layoffs.
Microsoft spent $83.5bn+ on acquisitions getting Xbox to 22k employees, not too far off being DOUBLE PlayStation's headcount.
Only to utterly GUT Xbox to having almost the SAME number of employees as PlayStation just 2-3 years later, and that's despite all of Playstation's own layoffs and closures.
If these layoffs take Xbox down to around 12.8k employees as Bloomberg is reporting, Xbox will have axed a shocking 9.2k jobs or 42% of their workforce in just a few short years.
That is an UNPRECEDENTED level of gaming layoffs, mismanagement and failure, completely eclipsing layoffs from other major publishers or what's typical of the industry.
They essentially bought thousands upon thousands of employees, only to axe them.
Remember all the dishonest cheerleaders, influencers, fanboys and propaganda merchants that said these acquisitions would be GOOD for the employees?
Woe to them and anyone who still follows what they have to say.

“This generation will not be defined by its great games or incredible tech, but rather by corporate greed, mismanagement, and anti-consumer practices.”
Nailed it
In 2016, less than 3 of every 10 PS4 game purchases were made digitally. By this year, it was nearly 8 of 10 for PS4/5
That shift likely showed Sony it could do this, drop the cost of making/shipping discs, improve software profit margins, maybe de-emphasize a next-gen disc drive
We're BACK. 🇧🇷

Inacreditável! A Microsoft investiu 75 Bi USD pra comprar a Activision e vai conseguir matar a marca XBOX com isso.
Eles deveriam dar um double down em exclusivos de console pra recuperar a marca e a base, mas vão abandonar o hardware depois do Helix. Talvez o software tb.
Xbox is weighing up canceling its Marvel's Blade game and shuttering Arkane. Microsoft could shut at least five studios as part of big Xbox layoffs starting next week. Details 👇 https://t.co/nAzgWfltcm
🇾🇪 O elo entre o São Paulo e o Japão vai muito além dos Mundiais. A história de um jogador formado no Tricolor que virou protagonista do anime Supercampeões é o ponto alto dessa conexão curiosa que pouca gente conhece.
