MS says that finding Xbox Live content is too difficult

With the controversy over XBLA delistings still thick in the air, the crew over at MTV Multiplayer recently had a chance to sit down with Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg to discuss the the reasons for the delistings and, as expected, the blame falls squarely on the Marketplace and how content is organized.

"I think that we are not, I would say...happy with the ability to find and discover content as easily as we'd like", Greenberg told MTV Multiplayer, admitting that "we built Xbox Live Marketplace for a few hundred items and now we have 17,000 items." And that kids, simply put, is the reason for XBLA delistings. It's one of those things where (at least for the time being) removing content is an easier solution then totally re-working the XBLM and how content is displayed. Though, Greenberg does say that Microsoft is committed to updating the Marketplace in the future, saying that "longer term, we're looking to make the ability to find content and organize the 17,000 pieces of content we have a lot better." Maybe at that time they'll then put all the delisted XBLA games back on the Marketplace ... maybe.
