Microsoft Cancels 2004 Xbox Sports Lineup

Posted by simoniker on from the take-a-mulligan dept.

madopal writes "Well, it's no secret that Microsoft has been slashing internal development (Mythica, anyone?). Now, they've announced that they're cancelling their entire 2004 line-up of XSN Sports games for Xbox. Wow, with Ed Fries gone, it sure is a different place over there." The article quotes Kevin Browne of Microsoft as saying: "We need to be making great games, and the marketplace told us that we're just not at that level."

    Don't worry folks, there are still enough XBox sports titles to fill up those bins of unsellable used games for the next 300 years.
