Naz.. I would have kicked you out of the store before that point. When it comes to sales you sell what you have, not what you don't have and won't likely get many in. I'd also post up there at the store to ban you from ever entering the store again. They are there to make money and you don't know why that sales person was telling the person about the PS3 instead of the Wii.
Sure, the salesperson is being deceptive and only telling one side of the story, but when it comes to sales (especially if you are on commission) you push what you have. That's an ethics question they will have to answer themselves and deal with. Not by having someone playing games with no intent to purchase anything talk their customers out of a potential sale and try to give an ethics lesson to them.
If it were me and someone working at a store was doing their best to sell a person on a Wii instead of a PS3 that they were really looking for I'd just stand back, play the demo and laugh quietly everytime they said something bogus. And if they were lying about something that only the PS3 has and the Wii doesn't like a particular game. I may ask them when that game they lied about comes out for the PS3, or if they have any in stock. But I'd do it in another manner instead of getting into a heated debate with the sales monkey.
Shams, I do have to admit, that you should have mentioned to the lady about the 60gb version that does have bc for ps2 games. If the kid really wanted the PS3, what right do you have in trying to convince his parents that he should get the Wii? Now that kid may end up with a gift this Xmas that he doesn't want and could have had the system he really wanted instead.
