I know they clearly answered it, I read your original post, the part where it says Sony is leaving used games up to the publishers.  You said it yourself it sounds like online passes, which is what ms is doing but like j_allard just posted ms just took it one step further and made the whole process mandatory.  Do you really think publishers are going to require online registration on one console and not the other,  this is the publishers idea.

Why, no I don't... but considering online is not mandatory for the Ps4 they cant make online registration possible to play the game. Only to connect to the internet... Its really simple. I promise.

I guess it's possible that EA for example could require an internet connection for a game and you to put in a pass key. But the PS4 won't require all games to do so whether the Publisher wants to or not. DRM would be up to the Publisher for each and every game.

Microsoft can tell you it's up to the Publisher but that's a lie. If it were up to each Publisher than loaning a game to a friend would be up to each Publisher as well. But it's not. The entire console was built around DRM for every game regardless of the Publisher wanting it or not. They must have assumed all Publishers wanted this DRM.
