Major Nelson says they're working hard to ensure outages don't happen again. - Image 1Worried about losing your achievements because of the rumors and reports goings around? Well, have no fear! It seems Major Nelson has stepped up to clear the matter, thanks to a new report from TheGameReviews.com.

According to that report, Major Nelson stated that no achievements were lost as a result of the Xbox Live outages that occurred over the holidays. He confirmed this with the database staff for Xbox Live, who told him that there was no data missing from the database.

Major Nelson also explained why the outages happened. It seems that the outages were caused due to Xbox Live going beyond capacity. In other words, too many people were on Xbox Live at one time and the system couldn't handle it.

On the bright side, however, the Xbox Live team is working hard to avoid such problems from repeating themselves. As Major Nelson told TGR,

We are creating solutions so it does not happen again. It was a small blip and they are learning from it. We always plan for capacity; however, over the holidays it was well above capacity on live.

This was a duh for me and IMO this story was merely perpetuated by the M$ haters that wouldn't know anything about the console anyway.
