Reddit Thread
He did kind of do a short AMA after this
The rest of the thread is pretty useless. It is just a bunch of PS fanboys circle jerking about how terrible they think the Xbox One is. They mock Major Nelson for not knowing every single bit of information about the new hardware (which most of the details are probably still being worked on) and completely ignore the fact that Playstation denied an interview.

Hey Reddit! Thanks for the opportunity to answer some of your questions. There are more questions and/or clarifications that are swirling around right now, and I am going to spend a lot of time leading up to launch addressing as many as I can.
I'll get an AMA scheduled when we get closer to launch as well.

Just an idea here. Why not allow there to be a Xbox Live option to allow "offline" mode, but it disables any family sharing? Like
"If Xbox One hasn't connected in 24 hrs: [] Disable game & Allow Sharing [] Enable Game & Disallow Sharing"

I'd have to check w/ the engineers, but I don't see why that would not be possible.

I read this article yesterday. In it the lead designer of Day Z said that they would come to Xbox if some of the publishing fees regarding updates were waived. Has there been any discussion regarding this? I love playing Day Z on my PC and have always hoped for a console port.

Not sure where things are on that discussion. We'd love to have that on our platform.

I was wondering about your answer concerning using the physical disc as identification that you own the disc.
The gist of your answer seemed to be that you can't allow it to be identification because you might have borrowed it from someone else who is still playing because it's part of his online gaming library.
However, why can you not have the option to get rid of the online gaming library access, and have just physical discs for those who do not have internet/ are going away to somewhere without internet connection for more than 24 hours.
So for example your brother has a disc that he uses as part of his online library, and you have an xb1 connected to that library for sharing. Now you are going on tour in the military / are going on holiday / might lose internet at some point guaranteed (because you can't afford it atm for example)
Then you tell the xbox one that you will be going into offline mode. You lose the ability to play games that are installed, and now need physical discs. Therefore you must have the disc that your brother owns for the duration of the holiday. Your brother still has access to that disc through the online library. How can anyone exploit this system? It would help you get the military back on your side supposedly because they would be able to game on your console without internet access as they would just buy the actual discs and game offline without sharing.

I'll answer this in the future once I get all the details on it.
Thank you. I think a large problem we've been seeing are the rapid responses which contain misinformation or simply incorrect statements.
majornelsonMajor Nelson - Microsoft 31 points 4 hours ago
Agreed.

Sony and Nintendo are letting indie devs self publish their games on PSN and the eShop. Why doesn't MS allow this so it can appeal to more indie devs?
majornelsonMajor Nelson - Microsoft 40 points 5 hours ago
We've got a long term plan to address that. I can't go into it right now, but we have a history of supporting Indie developers and we're not backing away from that.

When can we expect more info on the family sharing? It seems like it has tons of potential and my push me back to Xbox. BTW you did a great job answered a lot of tough questions.
majornelsonMajor Nelson - Microsoft 49 points 6 hours ago
Thanks. I am rounding up answers..but they're still working on finishing up the feature, so it will be some time yet.

My most important E3 question is, where did you get that hat?

You can thank @MicheleMorrow for that

Hahaha ... You're welcome. Answering tough questions in SpiritHoods makes everything a little easier :) Plus you sport the Red Wolf quite well.
majornelsonMajor Nelson - Microsoft 10 points 4 hours ago
Let's do it again next time!
violenceonelove/r/Games reporter 14 points 4 hours ago
Anytime! I have a slew of different animals you can choose to be when answering beastly questions.
Your willingness to open your VIP Skybox doors to Reddit and BiteSize TV was a serious gesture of wanting to connect with the community (unlike the other major company who declined Reddit questions altogether after reading over them). There was not one question we showed you prior to interview that you refused. People here should know that. We look forward to an AMA and beyond :)

On the Playstation interview-
The Questions PS denied
quote:
What's funny is we had an interview set up with Sony and after reviewing the redditors questions they declined to do the interview because they didn't like the "hardware" questions... but XB gets flamed daily. ooh internet :)
The Questions PS denied
quote:
Here are the top 15 questions:
Will there be PS4 and Vita bundle?
Will the PS4 support mouse and keyboard?
With the PS4 functioning as a powerful Media Hub (besides pure gaming), which video formats does it support, and will we be able to plug in any Data device or will it only accept a FAT32 format?
I'd love to hear more about how Sony plan to use Gaikai. Will backwards compatibility to PS1/2/3 be possible through streaming?
Will you be able to change your PSN name?
Is the PS4 likely to have support for the Oculus Rift?
With the new Livestreaming feature, will the stream output only contain the Gameplay or will it be customizable to make it more personal.
-Will PS4 to Vita remote play functionality work while playing online multiplayer on the PS4? -Will the PS4 still require double the memory of a game to install it like it does on the PS3? -Will trophies instantly sync on PS4 like achievements do on Xbox 360? -What will be the new friends list limit (if any)?
With the PS4 moving towards a more PC based infrastructure and the possibility for Indie developers to self publish, what are the odds of Sony and Developers allowing User generated content, or Modding, on the platform?
How will drive club PS+ edition be different from the full retail edition.
What is the maximum number of people you can have in a cross-game chat?
Will the ownership of games you own digitally on PS3 transfer to PS4 if they are made backwards compatible later in the circle?
How is PS+ going to change on Playstation 4 other than adding the ability to play multiplayer? As in, will we still get 4-5 games on the instant game collection a month? Ask about any details for the new playstation app. Do they have any more details about how streaming PS3 games will work? Will we have to pay for any games we already own on PS3 again?
How many people can you have in a cross-game chat at one time? Can we get more details on how the PS4's game recording technology works? We know the Xbox One has built in TwitchTV functionality; is the PS4's implementation similar to that?
Can you guarantee that PS+ will still retain all current benefits once it becomes necessary have a subscription to play online multiplayer?

Yes. They first wanted to pre-screen questions which we agreed to; then declined us an interview after reviewing the questions...we were shocked to say the least. In regards to what kinds of "hardware" questions skydart had them on her list. But MS opened their doors and gave us an exclusive interview with Major Nelson upstairs... they treated us like any other major news outlet. They got big points for that in my book

Couldn't agree more, but Major Nelson would be the perfect guy to work on it.
The largest complaint people have about the Xbox One is if they could have seen this negative PR coming, why not get out in front of it? Him reaching out to that community and offering to do an AMA as we get closer to launch should help a lot.
The top thread on /r/games is a quote from Adam Sessler to wait for a little while to make your decision on what console to buy. I think he sees this anti-xbox fervor on the internet and thinks people should calm down and wait for more information to come out.

You just to have to look in the right place.
TrueGaming is the only one I ever look at.
Gaming and Games are filled with retarded children who like to post memes.

Can you quote more of the article next time please?

It's nice that major Nelson is making an effort.
Looks even better that Sony couldn't be bothered.
But it's gonna take some serious effort to fix this PR nightmare.
That being said, r/gaming is a hive mind of idiotic children. I'm inclined not to care what they think.

Yeah by just simply logging in but other than that it was a bunch of "I don't knows".

Didn't Nelson used to have a female counterpart? I remember she was very bitchy.
