3DO Co, Redwood City, California is scaling back the scope of its operations to cut expensed: the company says it has reached a key milestone with the sale of over 500,000 of its licensed Interactive Multiplayers – 200,000 in the US, 300,000 in Japan; 3DO has been telling analysts it does not intend to turn to financial markets or outside partners to raise more money and wants to stay as independent as possible, even if it means running at a loss.
