Xbox flatlining in Europe, Devs asking why they even bothered going to all the trouble of creating two versions of their game (X and S versions) as the returns were so poor, retailers cutting back shelf space for the consoles. I wonder if all the talk of turning the Xbox into a steam box or supporting other store fronts is a way of shoring up support for future releases by sidestepping the issue of having to create Xbox ports. I really can't see this working well, it takes away the ease of use of the console for a start, every time you buy a game on steam are you going to have to check how well it runs if at all.
