Despite acknowledgment of staff reductions of Rare, Microsoft has reiterated the importance of Rare in the plans of U.S. company. "Rare is currently in a position of strength because Kinect Sports has exceeded our expectations in terms of sales and is currently the best selling game for the platform Kinect," said a Microsoft spokesman in Videogame Source.
In the past few hours, Microsoft has confirmed the dismissal of "a few" employees of Rare. According to Edge cuts would have involved 42 people, but Microsoft is about a smaller number of positions at risk. Since October of last year, Scott Henson is the new studio manager at Rare. Henson said early on that the platform Kinect was at the heart of future strategies by Rare.
