Speaking to IGN, Microsoft's director of Xbox Live Marc Whitten revealed that they aim to have 300 images available for use as gamerpics by launch.
"We are focused on building out a beautiful collection of 1080p gamerpics for our users on Xbox One. You'll also be able to create full-body poses of your Avatar to use as a gamerpic. You'll see us do much more here in the future. At launch, we expect to have 300 gamerpics to choose from."
Asked if users would be able to nickname their friends in addition to their Gamertag Whitten responded:
"Good idea! We'll look at that idea in the future. At launch, one of the things we will provide is the ability to add a friend to a favourites list, so you can keep up with both the broader set of people on your list and the people you play with most."
The Xbox One is set to be released in 13 countries on November 22nd for $499/€499/£429. It will be rolled out to more territories in 2014.
Microsoft has said "we're not blind" regarding the criticisms surrounding the console but inists they're "winning the games message".
