If true then that means half of Xbox's employees will be let go.

Yeah, thats a weird X-POST. That number was reported to be across the entirety of MS.... But if true:
It just reeks of absolute desperation to make things work financially; margins might improve dramatically, but at the expense of the company's integrity. Under different leadership (a competent leadership) this could've come across as a huge win, like executives finally steering the ship, but this feels like the titanic adjusting course after hitting the iceberg.

Yeah, he could have gotten it wrong, but I believe all previous figures have been rumours as well, so…

Wild if true.
I guess they figured getting the FTC of their back and a waiting period of 2½-ish years was enough to start seriously cleaning house. That's what it takes to make a lean, clean, AI machine.

they 9000 are coming from across ALL of Microsoft. Not solely the gaming division.
Yes gaming got hit hard today, but so did many other divisions.
And this brings to 15,000 that have been layed off since May as a point of reference. Lots of redundancies at MS they staffed up for during COVID and their idiotic push to AI post-COVID. Unfortunately, it is time to reduce a lot of those redundancies.

I mean, their CEO is Indian. What do you expect. He's looking out for his own people. He's not American.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I don't want to throw fuel on the unsubstantiated rumor dumpster fire, but "half" is what I'd heard quite some time ago. Today wasn't as as bad as I'd been led to believe if this is everything, which is insane to think about, because today was awful.
Take it for what it's worth (which isn't all that much).

9000 people fired in their gaming division alone instead of across the whole MS? It would be some massive that it's hard to believe.
Let's hope they mentioned today is everything, but I think somebody of the many reports I readed or the people I talked to mentioned some people will be informed that they're fired later this week.
To secure more content for GP, to double down in their multiplatform strategy growing specially in mobile and rival consoles, and to be closer to become the top grossing gaming company.
