European or not, greenlighted in that period or not, SP or GaaS, the production of all SIE internal games that were under production from October 2020 until November 2023 were under responsability of the head of internal production (Connie Booth).
So yes, Connie Booth probably was fired as consequence of the production of several games going so wrong to the point of having to shut down them and even in some cases shut down their studios.
Shawn Layden left pretty likely butthurted because didn't get the promotion he may be chasing to get the role that Jim or Hermen got. There was no coup: Sony corporate heads did choose the best candidates they had for each position, the most successful ones in their areas. Same as they'll do in April to replace Jim. The new CEO may also replace some close people working for him/her, which could include Hermen.
I have no idea about Amy. As a fun fact, I met her once because she gave a conference in my city. But obviously I didn't ask about this because it's too personal.
Jimbo we know that he obviously retired and wasn't fired, first because he was super succesful in his role, more than any CEO of a console maker ever has been, and second because he wouldn't have continued on his job position during over half a year if fired.
