I actually have no doubt that Sony had something similar in mind, the thing is...Microsoft went first, and Sony smartly reacted to the consumer response.  It makes you wonder how any company can come up with such a shitty poilicy, when they supposedly have consumer test groups that they run things by.  Maybe they should start getting people from other countries, and not just American's.  Either way, they should probably think twice about what information they should and should not include during a reveal announcement.  Really contributed to the crushing of the hype that you usually get with new hardware announcements.

Again? there is no evidence, sony in fact revealed that they had no plan to impose DRM before Ms revealed their DRM plans since there were rumors already going around.

I never said there was any evidence, but I kinda figured both companies would seek to put a stop to resale companies like Gamstop.  Too much additional revenue potential there.  Of course, I never thought consumer's would accept these efforts, if it ended up costing them more.


so the whole possibility runs only of you thinking perhaps sony was looking at it because it makes sense to you even with no base in know facts?

ps4 reveal they said drm was the publisher choice on how they wanted to do, e3 they were clear, there was no need for day one  patch to correct any drm.
