I don't think for a second that Sony's only objective was to stop one guy from hacking.
They wanted to prevent set precedent where if you hack, you will be punished. The problem with this settlement is that nobody got punished, unless you consider not using Sony products a punishment. I guess that's pushishment or a blessing depending on how you look at it.
But this case will do nothing to stop people from hacking in the future, so IMO the case is a loss for Sony.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
