If this is true, this is proof that Microsoft has no idea what they're doing and where their priorities lie. This is a move of utter desperation. I can't see this working, however, because Destiny is said to be at Sony's press conference and I don't think Microsoft wants Sony to showcase their triple A devs even more than they had to.
That is not news though, that's a rumor. And it's better to keep our insiders hidden in threads so we can keep getting more info. Outing them will only mean they will stop talking and so will other insiders.
What you call desperation, I call a legitimate strategy. They know they've lost a few people after May's reveal, so now they're trying to win them over, and since they have the money, I don't see why they shouldn't.
UNCONFIRMED RUMOR: Microsoft will release live bees into the Sony event.
Besides, the title is beyond misleading.
"Undermining PS4 multiplat games".
And then it's about a marketing deal of sorts.
It's borderline pathological nowThe phony pile on outrage is truly hilarious.
Fun e3 drinking game: spot the ms moneyhats.
This is so dumb, whether it's true or false. People are going to see the Sony 1st party games anyway. Unless MS pays them to cancel their E3 presentation, right? :lol

How is this embarrassing and pathetic? They have the money, so they use it to make his console more appealing to the consumer.

How on earth is that misleading? Would you prefer I used the word bribe? I think "undermining" is about the least inflammatory word one could use to describe what is allegedly happening.
Tell me a better way to put it that isn't catering to flame-worthy fanboys on one side or the other of the issue. I just think someone should find out the truth so that marketing isn't skewing perceptions of truth in an industry ripe with misdirection.
they canceled their roundtable. cant ask.
Microsoft = Lannisters confirmed

Pretty much this... except with Major Nelson or whoever decided to pull that off's face there.

Dogs with bees in their mouths?!?

that would be a fuckin waste of money by MS, since official PR material will always include every plataform announced, regardless of it being demoed or shown in a reel.

Because it's not about marketing and money, it's about the everlasting struggle between the good and the evil forces.
It's always funny how gamers tend to moralize everything in a manichaeistic way.
This sounds too ridiculous to be real.
Not even a release moneyhat, but a showfloor moneyhat? I would laugh so hard.
