Microsoft 不但決定裁走 18,000 人,更宣佈將旗下 Xbox Entertainment Studios(XES)關門大吉呢。話說這個部門原本用於為 Xbox 製作自家的影片內容,當中最知名的就是 Steven Spielberg 所製作的《Halo: Nightfall》,以及《Signal to Noise》紀錄片,幸好 Microsoft 表示他們會繼續現有的製作。另外,該部門的 Nancy Tellem、Jordan Levin 兩位高層和「部份」員工都會留任,負責上面的製作計劃。
Xbox 部的主管 Phil Spencer 指出做出這個決定並不容易,不過他相信關閉這個部門將有助公司更緊貼著長期目標(計劃)。在另一邊,Recode 收到的消息則有點不同,他們指出這部門之死因是其缺乏組織和商務模式不完善,所以令到部門的合作伙伴都遠去,不能留著有價值的內容。
