According to general manager of Xbox Live Marc Whitten, there will be no spring dashboard update for the Xbox 360 and that poor selling or poorly reviewed XBLA titles will be removed from the service.
Whitten adds that the titles must have been "out for more than six months, have a Metacritic score of less than 65%, and have a conversion rate of less than 6% will be eligible for desliting." The software giant will then give three months of warning before the titles are finally removed.
When speaking about the so far missing dashboard update, Whitten says "we have taken a different approach this spring and spent a lot of our time and resources of building the proper infrastructure and scale for the service not just today but also into the future. So while most users will not notice any significant changes to the dashboard this spring, I can tell you that the team will be releasing a new digital rights management ( DRM ) tool next month that will allow you to better consolidate your licenses for downloaded content to a single Xbox and allow you the freedom to be able to play your content both online and offline."
