That's because none of these "journalists" know how to do their dang jobs! They ran with the hottest most inflammatory "reason" that some other journalists conjured up based on Sony's safty first retort.
In actuality when you accept PSN's terms of service you are working within and under Sony's domain and there are some agreements associated with linking accounts taht you need to agree with in order to do so. But no where in PSN's ToS does it say you'll be able to log in to other services bypassing PSN to play games made by other companies. Sony is not selling their systems so that it's players are under another companies control. This sounds bad but is it? Does my cell phone carrier allow me to use the competitions services? The answer is no even if the alternative would benefit it's end users. So there is no way to make this look good for Sony but if you read between the lines MS is the real "bad guy" here trying to monopolize how and who controls everyone's online gaming experience. Having had dealt with Xbox Live and PSN I can tell you that PSN is better than XBL for all sorts of reasons including how PSN has handled chat and privacy these days and I still have a standard Xbox Live account that I use to... Wait for it... Play Minecraft on my phone.
I will be missing out on the super dooper graphics, but I don't care that much. It will be interesting to see how MS and or Sony react to this issue but I hope Sony holds it's ground forcing MS to compromise with them meaning PSN keeps its autonomy.
