Ohhhhh, it was a joke? Alright then.

Heh. Kinda funny they created confusion about their interview that's meant to clear up confusion.

So MS have given you some PR answers and you are going to pass those onto us?

Just read it. Hard hitting.

Not really. Its fluffy stuff nobody cares about. No important questions that we've been waiting to have answered are addressed.

The game DVR is 720p apparently.

I think that's because it's being stored in the cloud and capture units will still work with the Xbox One.

If you're serious about getting a capture, they're assuming you'll probably have the right equipment to get that feed at 1080p.

Could be worse...could have been like that Major Nelson chat and IGN could have 'pretended' the answers weren't copy-paste

I'm not confused about the xBone.

I just don't care any more.

I imagine most people are in the same position...

I care. I mean I know I'm not getting an XBO any time soon (I settled on getting one near the end of this upcoming gen, because I don't think Microsoft deserves success this go around), but I do know there's tons of cool as shit games in development for it, and it's always nice to hear more about them. For the memory bank for the day I invest in one :)

I'm genuinely interest in Xbox One and Microsoft policies as well. I don't plan on buying one in the near future (a few years), but how they develop the console, its online policies, servers, and games are things which will influence my decision to support Microsoft again or not.

As the Xbox One gets closer to its November launch, many questions remain about how the console works and what it can do. So we reached out to Microsoft and asked them if they could definitively clarify some of these things -- without any half-answers or no-comments getting in the way of the truth. They obliged, and so we'll be bringing you a handful of Ask Microsoft Anything answers each Monday at 2pm PDT/5pm EDT. Bookmark this page, as we'll update this article so that all the answers live in one easy-to-find place.

Oh, and if you've got a question for Microsoft about the Xbox One, send it to our Podcast Unlocked team at unlocked@ign.com and we'll make sure Microsoft sees it!

Are Xbox 360 Avatars transferring over? If so will any changes be made to them?

MARC WHITTEN, CHIEF XBOX ONE PLATFORM ARCHITECT: They are – your avatar will be on the system at launch and in fact, you’ll have some new options, including the ability to do full-body HD gamerpics. By the way, we should actually talk more about gamerpics too. We’ve moved from the 64x64 gamerpics on Xbox 360 to a full 1080p. They are beautiful, and you are going to see some really cool hero moments, like when you login to see personalized views of your games and other content.

Can you clarify how will Xbox Live Arcade work on Xbox One? Or if it will exist at all?

WHITTEN: Sure – there is no difference between games in the store – games are games are games! You’ll find them in the same pivots (most popular, new, etc.) and we’ll be highlighting them in our dashboard experience. And of course – like all of your digital games content – you can play them on any Xbox One, and anyone can play them on your Xbox One.

Will the Game DVR capture at the source resolution? i.e. will Forza 5 clips capture at 1080p and 60fps? And where can Game DVR clips be uploaded to?

WHITTEN: Game DVR captures beautiful clips at 720p 30fps. The first thing you’ll see with our game DVR is the integration of our Upload service on the console. This service allows you to manage, edit, and share your content. Your clips are stored in the cloud. Also, you’ll see games making “magic moment” videos of your gameplay based on the game DVR functionality – all seamlessly integrated. You’ll be able to see these clips in the Xbox One Guide, in your own game DVR collection, and when you are looking at gamercards on the system. You’ll also see games take advantage of this platform capability and do interesting things to integrate captured game footage into the game experience itself.

Can you earn two sets of Achievements for the same game (i.e. Playing Call of Duty Ghosts on Xbox 360 and on Xbox One)?

WHITTEN: Every game has its own set of achievements, so if you’re playing Call of Duty: Ghosts on Xbox 360 and on Xbox One, you can earn a separate set of Gamerscore in each game. But on the Xbox One version, you’re getting a much richer set of features, such as seeing your achievements progress on the Xbox One console, being able to unlock new achievements throughout the year, and earning real prizes inside and outside of the game. Xbox One also enables a new concept of challenges, where games will be offering special time-based opportunities to earn various goals and collect the rewards. More info on challenges can be found on Major Nelson's blog here.

I don't know. Is this a bummer? Or we fine with digital store as it is?

When I heard that MS will host an AMA the first thing I thought of was I sure hope someone asks about avatars on the Xbox One.

Dear Ryan McCaffrey,

Are you related to Anne?

Also do you know if Don Mattrick was fired because he was responsible for the shitstorm following the Xbone reveal?
