Microsoft Allegedly Paying Publishers to Not Show PS4 Games at E3

4.3
Microsoft is allegedly paying many third-party publishers so that they won't show off their PlayStation 4 games at E3 2013, according to a new report.

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.

Illuminatiii_X I'm happy with the direction Microsoft is taking their next console. They did a phenomenal job with the 360 for as long as it has and is living. I expect just the same in their next console plus more. For those concerned because entertainment is another aspect of the console besides video games just wait until the console comes out before you pass judgement.

I totally agree with you. I think they did a great job on the 360 and I think we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. Microsoft said that E3 would focus on games for them, well maybe we will see the video game side of the console instead of all the entertainment at the first look at the console.
