I think this is a mistake. Even a small showing would be worth it. It's like forfeiting a game and letting the competition have a free win. MS should have just sent a some kiosks and a some demo reels of Halo4. If they added in some Halo 4 multiplayer stations it would get everyone excited to check out their booth.
I know MS has their own way of doing things and it works for them, but sometimes it's best to go along with tradition even when you don't want to.
