    2. Big tech layoffs have never stopped. The batches have been smaller, but they've all been laying off hundreds or thousands of employees every few months for years now 😔

    3. Cutting payroll is one way to juice quarterly profits in the short term.

      I think Microsoft gave up on the Xbox as a system and are making their games available on PlayStation though, so part of the layoffs could be in the gaming hardware division and sort of justified.

    4. the hardware cost is more than made up for in game pass subs. Much like the hardware was once a loss to get license to cover the cost. I dont believe they'll drop the Xbox at any point

    5. Oh yeah I’m not saying the layoffs occurred because MSFT wasn’t profitable. Just not profitable enough for Wall Street. 😕

    6. I vaguely remember a headline about Xbox exclusives now being available on PC and PlayStation, but too lazy to check.

    7. Xbox division was caught playing around and not working.

    8. Too spreading FUD. A few thousand being laid of at a company that has 228,000 employees is insignificant. It happens ALL THE TIME and is part of the constant rebalancing of such a large organization.

  3. Microsoft runs around trying to buy anything and everything then realizes it can't manage its way out of a wet paper bag.

    2. it was clear when Xbox basically said publicly that it wanted to move out of the hardware market and focus everything on its subscription-based gaming services like game pass and cloud gaming.
