Microsoft's much-hailed Xbox has seen its video games slide off the US Top 20 best-sellers ladder despite a massive marketing campaign.
In the opening week of March, the group saw six of its Xbox games in the US Top 20 with two in the top ten.
But by the end of the month, both these games had slipped off the scale, leaving the company with just two on the board - in 19th and 20th places.
Microsoft has already slashed the price of the Xbox console worldwide after poor global sales, but it has also now cut fiscal-year shipments forecasts by 40 per cent.
Top spot in March went to Sony's PlayStation 2 console, with nine games in the Top 20.
