evidence like them saying that they were planning huge psn attack days before psn was brought down is what he's talking i'd think

 

Cheers for proving my point, you don't know what the word evidence means.

 

Do you mean like evidence of Anon reps saying that they were discontinuing DDOS because it was more damaging for Sony customers than for Sony the company (and then actually stopping)? I'm pretty sure stealing user's credit card data comes under the category of more damaging to users than Sony.

 

anon hack for political reasons - to embarras HB Gary, to pay back Sony as a company for the Geohots thing, to punish Mastercard for their attempt to hurt wikileaks. They do not hack in order to steal credit card details. What you are suggesting is as proposterous as suggesting that because greenpeace commitsillegal activities to hidner whaling boats, we might as well assume they are guilty of every violent act of piracy (ie actual piracy, not video piracy etc) that we do not have a culprit for.

to be fair, it will be far more damaging to Sony if none of the cards are used, and Sony still has to pay for 100M people worth of insurance and CC fraud monitoring.

So, yes, it's very likely that it's anon. Especially when, so far, this is exactly what is happening.
