Microsoft: Xbox Live Arcade will end ... someday
So does that mean that Xbox Live Arcade could, as a service, go away with Microsoft simply selling and promoting downloadable games on the Xbox 360 as games, period? Vox Games posed that question to Michael Wolf, the global marketing manager for XBLA Microsoft Studios. His answer? Xbox Live Arcade will in fact go away ... someday. He states:
Personally, I'd say absolutely, yes. I think digital distribution has to be like that. I don't think XBLA will be leaving soon. It is an incredible platform. We have XBLA fans, I don't think it's going to be announced anytime soon. One thing Microsoft has proven is that we continue to try and adapt and innovate in experiences.
With Microsoft already selling downloadable versions of Xbox 360 retail boxed games (usually several months after they appear on store shelves), the idea of the Xbox Live Arcade service ending at some point is not far fetched anymore.

Microsoft want get rid of arcade games because one there almost all the time going to be more attracted to other people then the standard main stream game. second Microsoft makes a pretty penny off of the share of the games.
