One of the smartest moves Sony could do right now is to keep quiet on the issue and keep an eye on the market, making the DRM scheme a removable option for a worst case scenario.

They wouldn't lose out if they did have a DRM function of some design similar to the Xbox ONE. It would make the playing field even. As wfz as has also said, the 3rd party gaming companies/studios are a massive factor here. A factor we often forget about. They are accountable for around %80 of all game sales on the ps3 and 360... The PS4 or Xbox ONE can not survive without them.

I think they'll do it... Still a chance they want the advantage of no DRM though.

Keep in mind, though Sony and MS depend greatly on 3rd parties, 3rd parties in return depend greatly on gamers. And gamers don't like DRM. In terms of business dependency, DRM is a loss.


Gamers and games rely on each other this early into a new gen. You're not going to buy a console with only 2-5 games as appose to one with 15-20. Especially if those games are the CoD's and GTA's. The WiiU is an example of this.

You really think that if Sony decide to not implement DRM on their console third parties will stop supporting them lol, no COD no GTA lol, to get a few millions back from second hand market they will drop the hundred of million they get from selling games on a Sony console

I didn't say that. I'm just saying third parties would have urged them to go down this route. Looking at the support MS is going too.... They're considering it for sure.
