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.

ZinqShockzZ Shows how much Bette ps4 is


How? I can guarantee that YOU (ZinqShockzZ) cannot name four better specs that the ps4 can offer and the Xbox one can't.


as a Microsoft fan i can tell you that.. ps4 is 33% more powerful graphic wise than Xbox one.. every other spec such as ram and CPU is better than the Xbox one. that's all they need to be a better system.. Also they are definitely showing their focus on GAMES while microsoft is busy making this a family system.. im pretty sure 85% of gamers are teens that rather not have their system in the family room.. How about you name 4 ways Xbox One is better? keep in mind that im not a fanboy. ive owned both systems and i always preferred xbox because of the community of cool people i play with. Though i can truely say Sony has my attention in their hands. Microsoft wouldn't be doing this if they weren't worried about the competition.. Think about it??
Your such an idiot. The 33% more powefull thing is ABSOLUTE bullsh*t. The specs are pretty much exactly the same you stupid individual.

No.. they aren't the same. Are you retarded?


yeah the ps4 has more power dude
