Kotaku states that a source close to the company has told of around 80 to 100 job cuts, which have come into effect immediately.

The US move follows 160 job cuts at SCEE in April, as the platform holder continues to re-structure its business.

SCEA spokesperson Dave Karraker could not confirm the figures, but told Kotaku:

“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 analyze 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.”
