Sony can do what they want, no big publisher is in the position to ignore them because they depend on them. PS is roughly 50% of the console market, most publisher would be dead in the water without PS sales.
Yeah, but they are in a tricky position, can their box survive or be relevant without the big pubblishers?
What will, the costumers they are targeting, do if the ps4 has to live with only the Sony/small studios output?
Is the market really so sensitive about DRM?
I don't know and from a business stand point it's better to play it safe.
But if their box succeed without following the big pubs dictates they will find themself to be the new ruler of the videogames space in a position of strenght that they do not have now and there is the chance, for the pubblishers loyal from the start, to gain a lot of marketshare and to create new succeful ips.
Could also be the ruin of the great pubblishers we have now.
It's a gamble.
I hope for a customer centric policy by Sony, but i think we are going to be very very angry after the E3.
