Okay so I found a couple articles saying it's 1000 but I don't know if it's the truth.

Yes, all of those are from May, before E3, right after the Xbox One reveal.  Just as I posted in my comment.  It was at E3 that Microsoft clarified that no, in fact, there wasn't a set limit on the number of friends in the Friends List.

by unlimited they meant 1000 they clarified this with Eurogamer right after E3.

Its like my unlimited data on my phone, which is limited to 3gbs, 

Tech companies dont know what the word unlimited actually means. 

This is inaccurate.

At the Reveal, Xbox Support was asked what the limit on Friends was, they said it was 1,000.  At E3 they said, no it isn't capped at 1,000. 



Even if it was limited to 1000 who cares...This is like a dick measuring contest to you people lol.

Right back at ya!

Now I have 40 people in my friendlist for PS3 and me and my brother together know 30 of them in person (friends+family). The other 10 I have no clue of who they really are :p

I also know people who don't have more than 10 on their friendlists on PS3. On steam I have 5 friends and on my Xbox I have none

I'm not the one comparing the number of max friends on each console. I already said even if it was only 200 people I wouldn't care because I still haven't filled up my PS3 friends list. Also regarding your other reply to me, this one is from June 17

So, a document that still exists on Paste Bin you think is real, when in the past Microsoft's lawyers have contacted Paste Bin and ordered an immediate take down?  Even going so far as to issue cease and decist to Web sites.  Yet this document still exists?

Likewise, again in the context of Skype and integration with Skype and Facebook a 1,000 friend Friends List wouldn't work.  Just as it didn't with Windows Messenger and 100 friends on Xbox 360.
