Comparing things like Sony lied with the PS3, removing Other OS function (which still works if you keep the original firmware) and removing hardware features is a bit short sighted. I think that Sony learned a lot from their mistakes, the mistakes MS is making now, the biggest one dictating consumers what they want. When Sony released the PS3 they were arrogant, stating things like Next gen starts when we say it does, and pushing Blu-Ray down our throats (which in the end was not a to bad thing). Also making a console which was way to expensive to produce and sell (which explains why the removed some of the hardware features, just to reduce costs).
Sony was arrogant, made bad business decisions and promoted their PS3 wrong, and they paid the price for it the first few years. Surely everybody remembered all the shit Sony got over them for acting like asses. Looking at Sony now they almost seem humble to us gamers. And of course they are not charity and want to make money, but it seems legit they really have the gamer in mind with the PS4 and want the system to be loved.
History repeats itself over and over, company has succes, becomes arrogant and in the end gets punished for it. It happened with Nintendo (twice), first time they got their ass kicked by the PS1, now they fail again (at least until now) by thinking the Wii was such a hit and everybody wants a Wii with a touchscreen. This gen (PS3/360) Sony got bitch slapped by MS for being to cocky and a lot of their followers went over to the 360. Now it seems MS's turn, they want to much from the XOne and think they can force their ideas on consumers.
There is no reason to doubt Sony's word about no DRM or restriction from their part, using the same trade model as PS3. Seems some people like to hope Sony is lying or go the same route as MS. But Sony is not dumb and will keep their promise. For the simple reason that they know they will be punished severely if they will not deliver what is promised.
