And guessing the tinfoil conspiracy about Sony hacking itself wouldn't stay secret long. :)
My thought is we'll probably never know for certain unless perps reveal themselves, so saying NK definitely did it would be jumping to conclusions.
The real story is: Best. Marketing. Ever. And an international incident, to boot! (Well played, Sony. Even Obama was part of the story.). Seriously, the canceling the release was the story-making move. And the subsequent nonrelease release monetizes the situation. Couldn't have planned it any better. ;)
If it was all a marketing ploy they wouldn't have released private employee information that would open them up to lawsuits, or shut down their operations for several days. There's absolutely no way that Sony makes a profit on this adventure, and that would be the only reason to make it up. It's absolutely ridiculous to think otherwise.
If it was marketing, Sony would not have revealed the private emails of their executives. Obama would also not have stepped in, there is plenty of vetting that goes on in the federal government.
