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.

I doubt this is true, in the current state of things, I don't think Microsoft would risk worrying any more customers.

You gotta have a ton of proof to sustain such stupid rumors. Why make these posts to further make people annoyed at the Xbox one.

I don't underand why people are so obsessed about the looks. It's going to stay in a cupboard or on the floor. To the person that made the car or phone example, you take them out and around with you... I don't see many people carry their xboxes around with them.

Tyler- Quite honestly I have no idea why they wouldn't do that, its a great marketing strategy!
No it isn't, we call it "Bribery." However, this is more than likely a rumor started by Sony to make MS look bad.
