"So, after being at the party a while, getting my chance to try the game (Forza 5), I began to wonder about what they were running all these demos on, since I didn't see a single Xbox One. All the wires just led under tables and into cabinets

So, they were hiding the actual hardware, which I figured was probably some dev Xbox One units or something. And I'm curious. I wondered what these units looked like, so I decided to peek behind one of the cabinets. It was dark, so I took a couple quick photos with my flash so I could see.

What I saw was profoundly underwhelming. Just a laptop and a bunch of wires"

Neither did some PS4 and WiiU games.

Happens all the time. They run on dev kits not actual hardware. Why is it surprising that Xbone OS has taskbar anyway? It's RUNNING ON WINDOWS.

Pretty normal? Well then why does Julian Ringwall from GamePro tweeted this? He could have added "pretty normal" to his tweet.

X1 Demos are not even running on dev kits.

It is usual - welcome to the reality of gaming. Since when are you a gamer?
