Don't we need to take into account the third party publishers as well? EA, Ubisoft etc? May be they are pushing Sony (and MS) to have some kind of DRM implementation.

Does anyone have any new stats? I'm not sure what site has been used to see the Tweet numbers.

Twitter can be a lot more powerful than people think. I had a similar issue with konamis Customer support. Emails seemed to get ignored. Tweeted and the issue was fixed ASAP. Like you said when the whole world can see what you posted it changes things.

I even made an ad for it!
That last line should be the tagline for the PS4. Instant jab at Microsoft.

I bought Blastcorps for 140DM (70+ with inflation etc) and Conkers Bad Fur Day for around 180DM (90+). But at least I could sell it to anyone and rent it to private people.

yo lol
I hope so, but quotes like this (from Yoshida in February):
and other stories, plus the fact that it hasn't been outright confirmed, have me a bit worried.

Sony has to see this will return them to PS2 dominance if they don't do used DRM now. Even America will return to 2000 for them. I don't see even hardcore Xbox fans going with the One if Sony doesnt follow this DRM stuff.

Under 600 tweets per hour. It got a huge drop: http://www.hashtags.org/analytics/PS4NoDRM/

Has been mentioned, anyone thinking Sony and Microsoft are blocking used games for the sake of the third parties are giving them too much credit. Chances are they are looking at blocking used games as a way for more $$$$$ for them.
He's a "youtube celeb," he's not relevant (beyond the fact that he has 200k followers and people here mistakenly believed him to be possibly sympathetic to this campaign).
Yah stone tablets. Gotta make 'em feel the heft of your arguments.
There's probably only so much Yoshida can say officially right now. He's not skirting around the issue because it's an answer we don't want to hear, he's skirting around the issues because he can't say yet.
Doubt it. Too much noise from other devices for a true return to 2000. I think that applies to every console manufacturer.

Amen to that. We are close to being in the same situation as that same generation. Wii U is selling poorly and the One is very American-focused like the original Xbox was.

Europe is going to bed and america is on a holiday. Well, Europe was always going to be more serious about this anyways...
That is only tracking #PS4NoDRM mind, a lot of people have taken to using #PS4UsedGames and not to mention that DRM is trending for me.

That is too awesome. I love it.
Regardless, this opportunity is like a gift from the gods. They would be absolutely nuts not to capitalize on it.
That quote seems like it was on the table to be behind a paywall but not decided yet. I'm sure there will be substantial features you need to pay for (share, stream, cloud storage, Plus) but I expect online play, browser, access to streaming services to remain in the basic package. I could also see them putting ads on the free version.
It is expected that this will kind of slowly fizzle out, but that doesn't mean the regulars should not stop tweeting a couple of times a day.
Also remember. It's a Holiday. Most people are with families.
We've done our duty. We've spread this as much as we can. Hopefully later in the day more people pick up on this and help out. The big thing we can take away from all of the is that Sony HAS to be paying attention now. The fact that we got tweets back from Sony employees shows that.

All i know is if the next generation expects me to drop 59.99 on a new game with a 6 hour campaign and i can't lend the game to a friend or my brother without them having to pay a fee or me losing my rights to the game then I will be buying way fewer games.
Everyone is doing an awesome job.
Im going to write a letter, ps1 was my first console that i got when i was 6 years old and don't want them to change to the dark side. Stick with your fanbase and your fanbase will stick with you.

I am also sure the outcry was loud enough to be heard everywhere. People will continue to take note of it.

As for free online play, they probably want to save some of the good stuff for E3. Whatever happens I think MS will have a strong E3 with the exclusive games and more publisher partnerships, so Sony will want to save a few gems like continuation of free online rather than reveal important info like that in an interview.

Just tweeted to the three new Twitters in the OP. That's 7 people I've tweeted so far.
I love that this is getting traction and getting noticed by the gaming media.

One can only tweet so often until it turns to spamming the accounts.

I'm not sure that correlation exists though. The number of consumers that probably really care about the DRM on XBO is probably very small. Look at the installed base of 360, which is, at minimum, over 75 million. The number of people currently petitioning Sony is likely a fraction of a percent of that.
Third parties want a piece of that used game pie, and I'm sure first parties would be A-OK getting part of it too. If anything, I wouldn't expect Sony to tell third parties "No" but instead, at minimum, tow the line they already said, which is they're going to leave that decision in the hands of the publishers.

There's no way that's correct...
I think he was following Fake Kaz too at one point.
