No. There hasn't been a lot of defense from Sony. The only thing anyone from Sony has really said about Beyond is that Shuhei Yoshida said he gave his feedback to David Cage and that he has confidence in his next title. That's it. If you want to talk about a big corporation going on a lot of defense, I can point you to a lot of articles from a particular company I think you're familiar with.
David Cage, on the other hand, is acting defensive over the critical reception and he needs to get over it. The territory he plays in is different and thus very divisive. He's going to take some lumps by trying to go against the grain. Considering that Heavy Rain received the average score it did while being just as divisive, I think that's indication enough that it's simply that Beyond wasn't as good as far as the critics are concerned and that this isn't some kind of witch hunt or narrowminded view on the industry.
