Like someone already mentioned, we gamers are a few vocal minority. If Sony does indeed has plans to implement some sort of DRM (and they see the benefit in it) the amount of tweets needs to be HUGE, and I mean that it needs to be disgustingly huge (millions and millions unique tweets), for Sony to ditch out this completely.
That's without taking into consideration that some people are are doing this tweets are going to get the PS4 anyway, with out without DRM. There are millions of millions of potential customers that don't even know what DRM is (the "casual" market if you will), those are the ones that bring the money to the table.
I would like the tweets change Sony's vision, but I won't get my hopes up.

They could use the amount of tweets as a sample size and extrapolate it so it gives them a good understanding of how many ppl are against it vs the amount of ppl that are indifferent about it. Doesn't have to be millions of tweets IMO.

When you are a big company that needs to sell millions of consoles to make a profit, the sample size also needs to be huge. If we go by current PS3 numbers, then the sample size needs to be at a minimum 10% of those, so aprox. 7 million unique tweets to make a reliable sample size.
And again this is not taking into consideration a lot of variables, like people who are making the tweets but in reality they are going to get the console anyway, people that simple do not care, etc. Sony also has numbers that speak louder than tweets, like game sales, percentage of profits of new games, digital sales, PSN revenue, etc. Those numbers are more important than tweets.
