[quote]Two of our most trusted neoGAF insiders have said that[b] Microsoft is reacting hard to what has went down, and so they're going to try to dismantle PS4's image as a "for gamers" console by paying publishers and devs to not show their multiplatform titles during E3 on a PS4.[/b] In other words, even if the multiplatform version is coming out for the PS4, they won't be able to show them at E3, thus contributing to the perception that somehow Sony is getting significantly less support for PS4 than Microsoft is "for gamers."[/quote]
Unconfirmed rumor is unconfirmed, but if there is truth behind this, this is some shady business. But this is how business goes, and if this is how MS is going to try to save their after shooting themselves in the foot so be it. Thoughts.

I doubt this is true. Microsoft knows that they lost leverage with sectors of the gaming community, and know that doing something this stupid would even further people's move away from the X1. Besides, with the moneyhatting of Titanfall (which sounds impressive BTW and I can't wait to see it at the show), they know that they can at least win back either the shooter crowd and/or further reinforce their stranglehold dudebro/frat/NFL crowd. This is extremely dangerous, and I doubt Microsoft would ever attempt something like this given the gaming public's divided attitudes towards them.
