Back in April Gamesdog brought you news of staff cuts at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE), and now it looks as if the same is happening on the other side of the Atlantic.

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) has already lost between 80 and 100 staff members as part of its restructuring, half the 160 losses that SCEE said it would make.

SCEA spokesperson David Karraker said, "In an effort to accurately align the company to meet the changing needs of our consumers and of our industry, Sony Computer Entertainment America has found it necessary to analyse our current business and to restructure the company as necessary to continue our standing as the market leader.

"These restructuring efforts are currently underway and do include the streamlining of our operations and other initiatives to further strengthen the business, reduce costs and increase operational efficiency."

Sony’s profit losses and the cost of PS3 game production seems to be to blame for the redundancies, though staff have been said to have received fair severance packages
