I think you may be right. If this is the case maybe that MS rep is there to assist with the Kinect aspects of the demo? They are touting it as Xbox Ones biggest feature.
Troll confirmed. Have a nice day.

They are demo'ing the XB1 at these stores at these times at these locations. Meaning they are being done with MS representatives there who oversee the demo. It's not just set up a TV and Xbox kiosk and let folks have a go.
So it has nothing to do with yields but there is something interesting here. What's so hard about sending out kiosks where people can just play some launch games at their big box retailer a few weeks before it comes out? Why this controlled environment?
(spoiler: the generational leap is unapparent at this time! They don't want too many people to play it prior to launch because it's underwhelming even more so than the jump from Xbox to 360 or PS2 to PS3)
isn't "anti-Xbox sentiment" the very meaning of fanboy?It seems to be whenever someone says what they don't like to hear, "fanboy" gets thrown around.
No. It doesn't make you a fanboy, but it is speculation fueled by a very anti-Xbox sentiment running over at Neogaf, started by some random guy who speaks gibberish and has a cult following there, and has been firmly denied by nearly every Microsoft official. That's all.
Well wouldn't it be possible to dislike one product while not being a fanboy? I always viewed fanboy sentiments as being ultra pro, not necessarily anti everything else.isn't "anti-Xbox sentiment" the very meaning of fanboy?

i know..Perhaps, but I'm not talking about Digital Joker. I'm talking about many members at NeoGaf.

No worse than the anti-PlayStation sentiment here.
And we have our own individuals spewing speculations supported by gibberish that flies in the face of what everyone else is saying.
That is all.
Pretty muchSeems to me this is an ant mound that many people see as Mt. Fuji.
I agree. Ive been around long enough to see every major console launch and I just found the whole revolving demo unit thing to be such an abnormality that I thought it was worth mentioning and spitballing a theory to it. The fact that people are so irritated by the idea and feel the need to counter with accusations and name calling is both childish and depressing.Seems to me this is an ant mound that many people see as Mt. Fuji.
All this waiting seems to have worn everyone a bit fine. Hardware shortages are par for the course when new consoles launch. Neither company is crowing about a super abundance.
FWIW, India just fell off the the 2013 launch list.

But im afraid to go over to the PS4 side of the site and post it because I don't wanna get banned...
I know my Gamestop is not going to get a xbox kiosk but is getting a PS4 kiosk. But they are pushing the PS4 big time at that store because the manager told me they didn't even Know if they were going to do a midnight release because the attachment rate for the xbox one was low do to everybody he talked to was going to digital download at launch and this p1ssed him off.
I know....it's a local gamestop story.....if you don't believe me I don't give a frick.
