Will the PS4's First/Second-Party be more influential to hardware sales than with the PS3?

Less. Fairly obvious given that Sony themselves have stated they have too many studios, which they have since followed up with closure of studios.

See above. The studios that Sony did close (Zipper, BigBig, etc) weren't significant this gen. So their loss won't be a noteworthy loss.

I would've agreed with you until Studio Liverpool got shut down, but now I can't.  Maybe I'm overestimating the importance of Wipeout HD, but it was significant to me, that's for sure.

OT: I think yes, but only because 3rd party exclusives will become fewer and fewer, so they'll be more infleuntial by comparison.
