Microsoft Cancels Sports Video Games for Autumn

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp., which has struggled to gain share in the intensely competitive sports video games market, on Tuesday said it would not release new versions of its sports games this autumn.

"After analyzing market conditions and customer feedback, we're focused on closing the quality gap between our sports line-up and that of our competitors," Kevin Browne, who manages sports games for Microsoft Game Studios, said. "Therefore we will not be shipping new versions of our sports games this fall."
