As a PS fan, I kind of agree...

I disagree with Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch and in Santa Monica and GG's case I think he's exaggerating somewhat, but it's true that Sony haven't managed their developers too well. Don't get me wrong, Sony have done excelent in expanding their studios and bringing us great exclusives, but at the same time there are some decisions that are questionable and that have cost them sales.

I think Sony should close some studios like they did with Zipper (not mentioned by OP), market their games better and yes, choosing better dates for some games and trying to avoid long delays.

what other studios do you think they should close??

I don't know if it's worth keeping London Studio, Cambridge Studio, Bend Studios... I would at least make them into a single studio or something. Not that they've done anything horrible, but I think Sony should focus more on the ones that are really successful.

Sony Bend is a great studio. They made two of the best games on the PSP and have so far made a great title fo the Vita. Closing down their most talented handheld studio is a bad idea.

Ok, perhaps you're right in this regard, Sony don't have many good studios working on portables. I still think London and Cambridge should merge or something, I don't think their output has been that great.
