Now what I COULD see SCE doing is cutting off some of it's second party ties. Most of their bombs have come from second parties. Lair probably lost them the most, but franchises like Folklore (a franchise Game Republic already said will not be continued) probably didn't sell enough to make a profit either, despite (probable) lower development costs. Demon's Souls looks to be the next flop, if it ends up as bad as the TGS demos made it seem.
Outside of Insomniac (and possibly Sucker Punch, though that remains to be seen), their second party affiliates have been Sony's weakest link, from a publishing standpoint.
