Microsoft Allegedly Paying Publishers to Not Show PS4 Games at E3
E3 2013, the most important games convention out there, is set to begin next week, and both Microsoft and Sony are expected to focus heavily on their next-gen consoles, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, respectively.
In order to gain the upper hand on Sony, Microsoft is apparently resorting to some unorthodox practices, like paying a lot of money to third-party publishers so that they won't show their PlayStation 4 games either on stage or at their actual booths.
The report arrives from a source on NeoGAF, which posted a lot of true rumors in the past, so it's possible that Microsoft really is resorting to such tactics ahead of E3 2013.
The company emphasized that at the event it's going to focus only on games for the Xbox One, so it could try to create a false sense that more games are coming to Xbox One than PS4.

ShadowBoltDashieSkipEverything this is a sh*t console and I guarantee that's why their doing this. because no one is going to buy this PoS console.
Personally they killed it at the reveal showing off the TV so much. A lot of people aren't satisfied with what they have done with the new console. E3 is honestly their last chance to impress a lot of people but after this, they more and likely destroyed it for themselves.
That's just how I see it. I'm still waiting for E3 to decide whether I get the Xbox One or PS4 but PS4 looks like the one I will be getting so far.
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. I am going to be curious how many people actually will purchase and play online on the new xbox. We will have to see.
