<p>Xbox One chief product officer Marc Whitten has responded to the recent fan petition asking Microsoft to re-reverse their Xbox One policies. In an interview with IGN, Whitten lamented Microsoft's back-and-forth messaging since May, admitting that the company still has a lot to work on when it comes to communicating with consumers.</p><p>"I think it's pretty simple. We've got to just talk more, get people understanding what our system is," Whitten told IGN. "The thing that's really gratifying is that people are excited about the types of features that are possible, and it's sort of shame on us that we haven't done as good of a job as we can to make people feel like that's where we're headed."</p><p>"The number one thing I want to do is I want to get the product out, because people are going to use it and obviously a lot of this is more evident, but certainly what I want to do right is now is talk more about how we thought about these features," he continued. "How we thought about how Xbox Live works, how digital works. I see people feeling like we've moved away from digital, when certainly I don't believe that's the case. I believe we've added on choice for people. It was an addition of a feature onto Xbox One, not a removal of a feature. And I understand people see things like Family Sharing and they're like, 'Wow, I was really looking forward to that,' which is more of an engineering reality time frame type-thing."</p><p>As far as the petition, Whitten believes that kind of response is directly related to Microsoft's recent ability to communicate its policies.</p><p><a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/12/microsoft-shame-on-us-for-xbox-one-messaging">Keep reading...</a></p>
