EA is supporting Nintendo.

Only that none of those games are known, except that they aren't EA Sports, Battlefield and whatever else runs on the new Frostbite engine. Could be shovelware. Could be PR speech with no games being in development at all. Could be Star Wars games, because Disney demands them on all platforms.

Sony said they never thought about DRM. MS...created their consoles cloud system around DRM, Sony has no DRM on their console. Look it up.

What Sony said is that they never thought about having an "always on" requirement for their console. This doesn't rule out DRM and Sony has already gone on record that DRM can be used on the PS4 by every publisher that wishes to do so.

Interview with Yoshida:

"This clears up a few things:
1.) The PlayStation 4 can play games offline without having to be online. This was clarified the day of the PS4's reveal back on February 20th.
2.) Sony will not have any mandatory DRM for used games. You can buy, play, trade used games on the PlayStation 4 just as usual. No additional registration fees, pay-walls or internet registration required.
3.) If you so choose, you can play games from disc, download them from the digital store orremote load them. Sony doesn't mandate any method over the other for multi-format titles.
4.) Just for extra clarification the PlayStation 4 does not and will not require a constant always-on internet connection. "
