It never was much of a negative marketing campaign so much as new sites and Xbox users decried the changes to physical media use cases, these bubbled up to the news sites and Sony's marketing department decided to capitalize on marketing opportunity. As others have said, every platform has had to put out day 1 patches (Wii U, XB1 and PS4) one way or another to fix issues due to rush production schedules to meet launch demands. To suggest that Sony orchestrated a massive negative marketing campaign without recognizing Microsoft marketing, engineering and business's royal screwup is disingenuous.
