Your second link has nothing to do with DDOS. I'm saying that this attack couldn't have been DDOS because that's just a lockout attempt, one which, as we've established, Sony can take care of in a few hours. That's kinda what this has all been about. DDOS can't do that on that scale. Also, who cares about some small time Bangladesh google? The article you quoted ends with "google itself was not hacked".
I really don't see how any of that has anything to do with what happened to Sony.
Here's their latest by the way:

It wasn't a DDOS attack. It was some sort of direct intrusion which "compromised" just about every data anyone's ever put on that service. Before Weltall can joke, that's 70 million users world wide. If you'll excuse me, I've got some things to take care of. Fortunately I always put fake addresses and things in online forms, so that's still good.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
