Ign interviews MS about X1

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/05/ask-microsoft-anything-about-xbox-one

they should be ashamed for asking these shitty softball questions. u have to question ign's writers journalistic integrity after this bs. i highly doubt these questions were asked by any real consumer/"gamer". 

I saw that. Pathetic questions. 

I sent them an email with a question, no doubt I'll forget by next Monday though.

My question: Will the Forza and Microsoft branded Fanatec wheels, pedals, shifters be supported on the Xbox One?

What questions would you have asked?

There are definitely some more in depth questions I would have asked. but I did'nt get offended by the questions they asked.

1) LOL @ IGN or even the fact you could begin to take them seriously. They are so overly mainstream its not even funny.

2) What did you expect? Reviewers and interviewers never want to take away from advertising dollars inadvertanly. IGN and other gaming websites make the majority of their money via advertisements they dont want to risk pissing off a advertisers. Microsoft means money so they dont want to bite the hand that feeds them.

The amount of money involved in the videogame industry makes it next to impossible to get any kind of real news.  It's an extremely controlled industry.

One question- Why does my XBLA games not carry over to the XB1? It is beyond bullshit that they don't.

Agreed that it is bullshit. 

The reason is likely to do with backwards compatibility.

Great questions, obviously this is what people wanted to know about the system because it doesn't offer much else

Is not the first time IGN does public relations for MS instead of going for the kill.

Name one game publication that would actually ask hard hitting questions, though?

Well yeah, if IGN ever wants a Microsoft interview again, they can't go apeshit. Sue them.Blabadon

You do realize they have to send the questions in beforehand to Microsoft? And if they make up new question on the spot they most likely would not answer directly, and then IGN will never get an interview with Microsoft again.

Its business.

IGN, as a publication, has been pushing the Xbox One pretty ardently for the entire month of July. I know that these two companies are throwing around advertising money and drumming up support for their consoles, but this one is pretty much the worst.

The whole point of an "AMA" is that the person field questions from all directions, and the group chooses which ones to answer. This entire article defeats the point of that. Like many here have said, there are far better questions that could be answered to better sell the device rather than just fielding some softball questions to stuff they spent the entire month of July sending out two paragraph press releases regarding.

One question- Why does my XBLA games not carry over to the XB1? It is beyond bullshit that they don't.
