Job cuts hit Microsoft Xbox sports games division
The teams that brought you NFL Fever, NHL Rivalse
The XBOX sports gaming division at Microsoft, who produced titles such as NFL Fever and NHL Rivals,
has been severely cut back, with 76 developers losing their jobs. Speculation of the divisions demise
heightened earlier this year when Microsoft announced that they had no intention of releasing any new
sports titles and that they had entered into a deal with Electronic Arts – a company renowned for their popular sports games.
More than enough 3rd party Xbox game developers
The Electronic Arts deal guaranteed the production of a number of games for the Xbox and strengthened Microsoft's
growing beliefs that they no longer need to produce as many Xbox games themselves – that there are more than
enough existing third party game developers to keep the Xbox game market going.
