 |  Subject: Rumor: Microsoft Paying Third-Party Publishers to Not Show PS4 Games at E3 2013  Sat Jun 08, 2013 4:17 pm | |
| Source: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Paying-Third-Party-Publishers-to-Not-Show-PS4-Games-at-E3-2013-Report-359264.shtml Original source comes from Neogaf. - Quote :
- 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. | |

The gaming industry can be worse than Hollywood sometimes.
If Microsoft is trying to hide the fact that they have no exclusives, then they don't deserve to win next-gen. At least the Wii had exclusives, despite it's technical limitations. | |
