Geurrilla has been first party since October 2005. Media Molecule will likely continue to be funded quite nicely, since they developed the Sony's fastest selling ps3 title thus far, for a cost probably far below something like Killzone 2 or Gran Turismo (Media Molecule to this day only employs 37 people). However, I agree that their second parties will be the first to go. This has already happened, with word that there will be no sequels to franchises like Folklore. And of course Factor 5 parted with Sony shortly after Lair fell flat. I expect them to continue strong relationships with Insomniac, Media Molecule, and probably Sucker Punch and Level 5. I suppose the performance of InFamous will ultimately determine Sucker Punch's fate.

Eh, those were just examples of second party publishers.
I mean thinking about it. Sony has been very loose with their money when it comes to second party funding and third party advertising.
I mean everytime a multiplat game commercial ends with "On PS3" instead of having "PS3/360/Wii" you can almost gurantee that was paid for by sony.
