XBLA: Microsoft No Longer Delisting Titles, NXE allows you to remove "0" Point Titles

Joystiq has added the full group interview with John Schappert, head of Microsoft Live while at TGS. During the interview they discus the New Xbox Experience as well as delisting XBLA titles.

On Achievements: You will now be able to remove games with zero achievements. This was a problem with the initial dashboard, which made any XBLA demo always be on your account with "zero "achievements. With the "New Xbox Experience" you will be able to remove them.

On Delisting: "I think with the new experience, it'll be easier to find things. I think that was taken a little bit out of context - we were simply setting up parameters for the time where if a game is not selling at all, we have the option to. Right now I don't want to delist titles until it becomes cumbersome to do so. If you can't find what you want, we need to act on that..." "We have no immediate plans to delist Xbox Live Arcade titles"
