It’s not uncommon to feature systems in stores before they release in order to give consumers an idea of what they’re going to be getting when they purchase them. Microsoft is using this practice a little bit early, and has begun putting Xbox One consoles on display in its Microsoft stores.
Though the system itself isn’t playable, it is an exact replica of the system that people will be able to snag when it’s released later this year. The items on display include the Xbox One console, the Xbox One controller and the Xbox One Kinect device. From what we’ve seen, they’re quite slick, and a bit bulky in size, especially the system.
No word yet when the system will be playable in stores, but it’s likely to be sooner rather than later.
The Xbox One will release later this year.
