Use the timeline and think. Seriously, if the 360 was what MS was copying, they wouldn't have told gamers who lived out in rural areas and dont have a good enough internet connection to buy a 360 when the backlash was initiated
Cliffy B as much as hes been bitching as of late said its not because of the whiners "whiners" but rather Sony why MS dropped DRM.

We can all deny it for so long but the fact remains that Sony even if they didnt have to do much still stood up for gamers, which is why MS changed their anti-consumer policies which would've benefited the likes of EA and Cliff Bleszinski (whom is already a millionaire).

Sony didn't do a damn thing to "stand up for gamers". Quite frankly they don't care anything about you or any gamer at all any further than their pocket books. If they make you happy, you make them profitable. That is all there is to it. Same goes for all companies.
And if you really don't think the PS4 has DRM built in and that Sony had several plans in the works, you are delusional. All the patents and evidence showed that Sony was just as equally considering a route like MS. Probably executed in a different way, but still there. They saw the negative press and decided to make a bold business decision. They played the opposite card of MS in hopes to gain marketshare and profit of MS's folly. It worked with them for a while, but now that MS has changed it's policies, that "advantage" to them is gone. Now they will have to live with the decisions they made. A fractured and useless camera add-on (PS4 Eye), losses on hardware due to the "more powerful" hardware they went with, no way to help support developers with used games (both big and small, not just EA that you keep spouting), basically nothing new or innovative other than a social focus in their UI and a streaming service they bought but still to this day have done nothing with and still haven't announced any firm plans for other than to use it for re-buying your old games to stream in a fake sense of backwards compatibility.
