Walt Disney Co.’s money-losing interactive media unit cut 29 percent of its workers in video-game development for consoles, according to a person with knowledge of the decision.

Disney fired about 200 of the 700 workers who design games for consoles such as Nintendo Co.’s Wii, said the person, who sought anonymity because the move isn’t public. Disney Interactive Media has about 3,000 workers, the person said.
