The "XNA is dead" stories currently making the rounds have been blown a little out of proportion. Two things are no longer happening: MS is not currently developing future versions of XNA Game Studio (XBLIG devs have suspected as much for over a year) Effective April 1, XNA will be retired from the MVP Award Program.
XNA is still an MS-endorsed means of creating Xbox 360, Windows Phone 7 and Windows desktop games.
interesting! They mention Unity in the article, haven't done much snooping around, reckon that Unity has a lot to do with the phasing out?
I would, Unity is shaping up as the pretty much be-all-and-end-all game engine that we all dreamed about for years before it came out (well, for indies anyway ^_^)
