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

The PS4 situation will be the same as the PS3 situation, but with possibly less multi-plats (depending on ease of porting).

Reasons:
The PS3 offered some of the best 1st party games last gen, that won't chage.
Good relations with certain studios will not change.
Tarnished relationships will stay for next gen.
The WiiU and nextbox will dominate the market worldwide except for Europe, so multi-plat nextbox/U is to be expected after 2 years in.

I expect Sony's PS4 to commercially fail, and Sony to become 3rd party gen 9.

You have seen nothing from the next Xbox and Playstation and you're alreaady making ludicrous judgements about the success of the next playstation?

I doubt there will be less multiplats, the PS3 was a nightmare for devs and yet they still managed to put over the majority of 3rd party titles, sony will learn from their mistakes and make a console easier to develop for.

The continued first party support  would make it very enticing for gamers.

If the PS3 came in at a decent price point and launched at the same time as the 360 things would have been a lot different this gen, I don't expect them to make those mistakes again.
