ps4xboxpaxWhoever laid out the show floor at the Penny Arcade Expo has a sense of humor, or at least a taste for competition.

The Microsoft and Sony booths are practically on top of each other, which means that attendees will be able to sample both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with just a short walk in between. Games for both upcoming consoles are being shown here.

Actually, the PS4 itself isn’t technically being played. The console is under glass at each station, but the actual games are powered by a dev machine hidden in the case. Microsoft, in contrast, is letting gamers play actual Xbox Ones.

Stay tuned for more from PAX on GeekWire today and this weekend.
