Topic: Microsoft shills at WiiU Best Buy events?

@MadAussieBloke I would cite common sense, but I've found a lot of people don't have access to that source.

Another approach is, what makes this Best Buy so special that Microsoft, as a company, decided to target it? Since we're all making this assumption, what logical reasoning do we have to think Microsoft would go out of its way to send someone to THIS Best Buy. Are there just millions of people deciding between a Wii U and an Xbox One in this city?

@TysonofTime The problem is that the original source is a neogaf thread. Unless I'm missing something here, this is one place that a few people on the Internet have said 'yeah this has happened' yet we only have proof of one. Far from the outcry people are expressing towards Microsoft for supposedly sending lots of employees to these things..

And yes I agree, this has been harped on and beaten into the ground way too much. There are plenty of other reasons to hate MS at the moment anyway..

There was more shills but common sense put them in the line because they really just wanted to play Mario Kart

Bummer, I probably wouldn't fit the Xbox foul mouthed teen gamer profile anyway.

I tell you truth, that ad has more creativity and style than the entire Xbox One and PS4 launch lineups put together.
