Basically....LOL at anyone thinking that Sony backed down because they feared North Korea was going to bomb or shoot up US Theaters...They could give less than a fuck for people's welfare....
Sony simply saw that The Interview was not worth the hassle. They saw that their money was going to be fucked up by the controversy. Capitalism is the only thing that matters....
Not to mention other studios were probably calling Sony Studios (which is just a small piece of the puzzle to Sony's overall corporation) up on some "this is bad for business foe ALL of us....Kill it..."
And of course there's the matter of Sony being based in Japan, a country that has a REAL fear of crazy ass North Korea....
The world is bigger than America....
