Uh, so Sony bears no responsibility for the games shown at its own conference?

'Cause I'm pretty sure people are expecting to see Playstation games at the Sony conference, not PC games. To suggest that Sony just does whatever a publisher tells them to do, even at their own conference, like some kind of obedient, well-trained hound...

... encapsulates the state of the console market quite effectively, actually. 

You're right. It'd be smarter for Sony to be like Nintendo and not listen to 3rd parties at all. That worked out well for the WiiU right? It's just flooded with games!

You seem confused.

The Wii U is what Nintendo gets when it tries to appease 3rd parties. Poor differentiation, which bores customers and leads to competition on price/performance that only benefits the publishers.

The Wii was the console that ignored the 3rd parties, thoroughly differentiated itself, earning more profit than any home console in history and commanding better third party support as a result.

But I must be confused, too. I'm not clear how anything Nintendo does excuses Sony for being a puppet company willing to decieve its "customers" on behalf of its real clients. You really don't see a problem when the customer that's buying a DRM solution becomes more important than the customer that buys computer hardware?
