All these layoffs, and man am I getting sick of hearing about it. I hope by me informing you of the gaming industry layoffs doesn’t alienate you. Recently, Microsoft announced that 5,000 jobs were getting cut. They have recently commented on the fact that the first 1,400 of these are coming from the departments that make the Xbox 360, Zunes, and Windows Mobile. This could essentially slow down the pace at which we are getting new Zunes or new systems as well as improvements in general.
