Yes, the main distinction is that PlayStation did the right thing and went into the exact details of how the service operates in full paragraph form, instead of going with a single sentence that has too many qualifiers in it.
The ones who are in denial here are those who think there is absolutely no room for doubt, because it obviously hasn't been made crystal clear through any channel. And this applies to both sides.
But why would they be so bad at PR that they could make something that is a positive, which is that you can keep your NES/SNES forever or at least until you subscription expires, into something that's bad and never issue a PR statement to correct it? If you could keep those titles forever then surely they would've reached out to Wired, IGN, Gamespot etc. to tell them that. But it's been days since the Switch reveal and they haven't said anything. And all their public statements all point toward it literally only being accessible for the month that it was released.
I know Nintendo can be bad at PR sometimes, but I really can't see how they'd allow this story to continue if this were simply an issue of a misinterpretation. All it'd take is an update to their website or a simple PR statement.
