Inside Xbox ends, Major Nelson lives on

Microsoft announced this afternoon that it is ending production of all Inside Xbox content in the US. That means first-party content such as Major's Minute, Featured Videos and Insider Moves has been scrapped. Producers were wished "all the best in their future endeavors."

"The only thing that changes are the daily Inside Xbox videos," Xbox's community guru Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb told Joystiq. "Everything else I do is unaffected."

As for other regions, Mexico and Japan will continue to produce first-party content "via other media outside of the Inside Xbox brand." Canada, Australia and New Zealand will no longer have Inside Xbox content. Microsoft is "currently looking at its operating model" for Inside Xbox in Europe, Middle East and Africa, which could "result in some changes."
