At my best buy, the rep told us they only got one Station to set up. They expect low numbers that turned out to be completely wrong. There was up around 200 people in line at any time before 40 minutes till 8pm.



Rep told me they were completely unprepared for the event turnout numbers.



A best buy employee also talked about how Microsoft and Sony have contracts with them to limit competitor demo stations allowed in different stores.



Also in another thread I saw how a Microsoft employee visited a best buy to talk about the Xbox One.



The same thing happened to me where a dude in a Grey-white shirt showed up and asked why everyone was in line. We said Wii U. He said Why?! Why not just go pre-order the Xbox One. He talked about the Xbox One and started to talk to others in line.



People in line told him to leave them alone. He didn't wear a Microsoft t-shirt though.
