As news of Microsoft cutting 3,200 employees at Xbox continues to make headlines, CEO Asha Sharma explains that it's been a long time coming, as the company couldn't weather its growing storm.
In a new statement to Fortune following news of the Xbox layoffs, Sharma provides a bit of insight into what she dubbed "the most significant restructure in Xbox history."
She explains, "In order to grow, we made a bunch of bets… and as we did that, we inherently didn't focus on the core business. The number one measure of your strategy is what you put your resources behind, and we simply spread ourselves too thin."
