They are not competing against each other. That's done terrible shit. Try and beat a guy when he's only selling 50k consoles a month. How low, MS. Next time, make a better console.

I wonder what he would have said if I told him my home internet connection is my phone.
Their response is they have a product for you. It's called an Xbox 360
Having worked at a now defunct electronics store, I'd get pissed when reps from HP and Canon would haggle customers in the camera section openly talking crap and ruining my own sales when such as selling a 12MP Sony Cybershot with 4gb mem card and warranty, only to have jerk off reps sell customers on $99 4.0 HP cameras with 512MB on board memory straight up lying about how "Megapixels don't matter".
I hated that the Manager would just shrug and say "Hey, they pay good money to have a rep here"
And that's probably why they died.

I believe it. Pretty lame of MS, instead of having an attractive product that speaks for itself they feel the need to try to rain on another company's parade. I can't imagine any of these reps were very successful.

"Hey, would you like me to show you how superior Xbox One is?"
"Sure"
"Go ahead and unzip your pants and bend over for me..."

After the roller coaster of nonsense that MS has been riding the past 4 weeks, I'm inclined to believe this is actually happening.

I don't think this is true. MS, Sony, Nintendo, all pay for demo stations (or in some other way have a contract with Best Buy to use that space). Least at the event I was at in Denver, it appeared Nintendo was making use of the same Wii U interactive that's always in the store. I don't think they pay to limit their competitors, they pay to have the space for their own interactive.

Would love more verification of this
As of now it could just be some rogue and overly excited MS reps
I think they were likely told to do this at this event but without more confirmation it really isn't proven
Would love to tell this to people and show them it as a fact, not a rumor
Would just add salt to MS's wound

I'm thankful for this kind of stuff because now I no longer have to go into lengthy discussions with people explaining why I've always disliked Microsoft.
From /v/ aswell but...
Does anyone know if this twitter account is real? https://twitter.com/XboxSupport2
They're saying there is no power button

You don't think other companies do this too?
Lets see, posts come from /v/ (famous for anonymous posting and thus the ability to post multiple times pretending to be different people), "picture evidence" is one picture of a guy who looks more like a /v/ poster wearing a microsoft polo in an attempt to look like a microsoft employee than an actual microsoft rep...
Yeah I'm going to say most likely fake.

Went there yesterday, didn't see any MS employees around. I think the Nintendo women manning the event would've told them off lol
The closest I got to MS were people coming over wondering why there so many people at a Wii U booth. They had came from the Xbox section.

It's just one more thing. The latest thing. MS just seems, I don't know, slimy. Smarmy. This latest example just seems like it's right up their alley.
First time I read something like that. I would remember as I find it very smelly.
They were probably there to help plan/discuss the new MS stores that are being built inside there.

I didn't have problems with Microsoft at our store, but did have issues with the store employees trying to sell to us. BestBuy employees were asking people to pre-order, and then someone from the phone area was trying to see if people were interested in upgrading their cell contracts.

Taking this with a grain of salt but if true, fuck off MS.
Leave us folks that actually want to own our stuff in peace.
