Speaking with GameDaily, Sony Computer Entertainment America representative Dave Karraker said that the numbers Kotaku reported about this week's Sony layoffs were "way high". In fact, less than 50 people were laid off this week, he said.

GameDaily did note, however, that layoffs had been ongoing:

GameDaily BIZ originally heard from a former SCEA employee who said that these layoffs "have quietly been going on since the beginning of the year," and were not a recent development. Karraker admitted that some people lost their jobs prior to the recent layoffs, but he said it was nothing out of the ordinary.
