IGN "runs" an "AMA" with MS about Xbox One

What I mean is that it doesn't make external capture hardware obsolete. It's just not "good enough".Tho, that probably goes for ps4 as well.
Because people can only handle so much PR bullshit, and Microsoft made most of them reach that limit a month ago

Stupid interview, but why is this MS's fault? This doesn't come across as bad PR for MS or anything. It's just a typical boring interview hyped by an over-excited tweet.

This is what we do now IGN?
You used the popular Reddit AMA to get me to click
The Game DVR question was the only good one
You're stretching this garbage out for at least another 4 weeks
For shame IGN, for shame!

IGN went down the shitter when Matt C, Cory, Craig and Bozon left.
You are right, next time I'll use the Titanfall remark. that one is much better.....
And no, I don't care. After all MS pulled of, people still think MS is changing their policies for the fans. This is another way to make up. But the funny thing is, it's a pathetic way of earning the trust of gamers. I mean look at these questions they asked. Why not ask what kind of shoes he is wearing.
I will say this: UK staff >>>>>>>>>>>>> US staff. Also: Mitch Dyer. I love Mitch.
IGN must somehow stand for "not even trying."
Not even a followup on the DVR function about what access we'll have to the footage - will we be able to download the video in an unencumbered format, edit it and upload it to YouTube ourselves?
Or will we be expected to use on device "tools", which will be like replacing a surgeon's scalpel with a lump of rock.

OH WAIT!
Maybe the later questions have been answered but IGN is under NDA and can't post the answers. The hype wasn't false! Things are happening!

1. Fuck you IGN for stupid page view, link bait bullshit.
2. If you have the answers, then post it, FAQ style.
3. Xbone = cluster fuck
4. People are "confused" because Microsoft has done an amazing job of confusing people with all their reverses and JK.
EDIT:
5. fuck me for contributing to their page view count

It's not even a thing to laugh at Microsoft about.
The fact that IGN would publish this story like this with these parameters is kind of weird. Here are all of our questions. Please answer some every week so we have new content each week.
"You guys get to meticulously craft answers to our trite questions while we get page views for exclusive answers."

So will there be more AMAs or was this the only one?
Could be they are keeping the better questions for later
Tune in next week!
It's not a normal interview. Microsoft must be aware of what this is considering they are going to do it every Monday at the same time. This makes it seem like they do it every week to respond to new questions from users, but it wasn't user selected questions anyway. Seems like just info released from MS every week. It is just weird.
Besides that, yeah it's IGN's fault for overhyping and calling it an AMA.

Remember that rumor about MS having 2x to 3x the inventory vs. Sony. I'd ask if that rumor is to be believed, why they have no consoles to pre order, yet Sony does.
The top comment on IGN is more interesting than the whole AMA

This is a really wonderful AMA ign, thank you for asking the tough questions for us.

How can you waste time on nothing?
If you value your time, then this was a complete and utter waste of it. Although, that is subject to opinion.
I much rather have had watched Hillbillies play football in the mud, using a round, spherical cactus as their ball.
It appears IGN emailed Marc Whitten a list of questions that they could turn into content over the next few weeks.
An interview format for the lazy and uninterested.

Those questions don't look like what I would expect as most asked questions from gamers. Surprised.
On the other hand, the comments are hilarious!

how would Microsoft know how many PS4's Sony has in the inventory to compare in the first place?

I understand. And this close to launch they should be throwing info at us left and right.
But some of the stuff in here is just pure hate.

Ask microsoft anything...and this is what they came up with? Not like microsoft would be willing to answer any tough questions but this was just bad ign.

Its exasperation with IGN joined with exasperation at Microsoft's Xbox PR.
That's a strong brew of suck.
The last A in AMA is what makes it meaningful. IGN is doing it wrong.
We're back to the left again.

Wow the comment section is a battlefield
Lot of FUD going around
Fairly certain every 12 year old COD fan I've ever played against is on there talking smack

Jesus, The View asks harder hitting questions.
Did someone put a gun to your head and make you go read the IGN article, then come in here and whine about it? It was a stupid IGN piece with three mildly interesting tidbits about the XB1, not Microsoft raping your mother. Please, buy an ounce of perspective.
