Old and weak XBLA titles to be delisted

Speaking in this Next-Gen interview, Marc Whitten, general manager of Xbox Live, has revealed that XBLA titles that have been out for more than six months, have a Metacritic score of less than 65 percent, and have a conversion rate of less than 6 percent will be eligible for delisting.

Microsoft will apparently give three months of notice before these titles are removed.
