Microsoft demonstrates Xbox One Friends app with Twitter-like followers and feeds

Microsoft is providing an early look at the company’s Xbox One dashboard and friends system today. Just as you’d expect, it provides access to a friends list and the ability to add over 1,000 friends. Xbox 360 friends will be automatically imported, but the Xbox One has a new follow option too to let gamers interact with other Xbox Live users. It’s similar to Twitter in the sense that you can simply follow anyone you want. Microsoft is separating out the privacy levels between friends and followers, allowing Xbox One owners to decide what information is shared to followers.

Microsoft Exec: Pre-Sale Xbox Ones Are Sold Out

Microsoft on Wednesday announced that the Xbox One will be available November 22, just a week after Sony unveils its competing game console, the PlayStation 4, in the U.S. On Thursday, a Microsoft executive told Reuters that the company has already sold out of the devices available for preorder.
Microsoft executive Yusuf Mehdi told Reuters that the device is in full production but that Microsoft still hasn’t been able to keep up with preorder demands from retailers. “We have more preorders than any other Xbox console releases in history,” Mehdi said.

When Microsoft announced the device’s launch date on Wednesday, the company also said in a statement that it would release “a limited number of additional Xbox One Day One consoles for pre-order,” though the company didn’t specify how many extra preorder devices there would be.
