Yes, but if they aquire a second party they're already heavily funding, it's basically a quick exchange of funds to lock up perrmanent exclusivity, plus they'd then being reaping ALL the rewards on whatever games that company sells, as Sony'd be both the developer and publisher.
Buying a second party certainly has its benefits, and it doesn't eat that big of a hole in the wallet. I mean, Sony are already funding the games anyway. And you gotta figure, Sony bought Evolution in mid-2007, when their losses were at their highest.
However, if it's some random third party company, then a move like this makes no sense whatsoever.
