could this be true? (http://www.anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=2420&p=5)
here's some proof (http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/tradeshows/2005/E3/day1/xbox360/G5s-3.jpg)
"Are those two G5s?
A pair of Apple Powermac G5 systems were actually running the Xbox 360 demos, not the 360 console. The consoles in the kiosks weren't actually running, they were just for show - now you know why all the controllers were wired.
Yeah they are
Because the G5 systems can only use a GeForce 6800 Ultra or an ATI Radeon X800 XT, developers had to significantly reduce the image quality of their demos - which explains their lack luster appearance. Anti-aliasing wasn't enabled on any of the demos, while the final Xbox 360 console will have 4X AA enabled on all titles. "
the article goes on to say there was an xbox360 running at the ati booth
