there are some rumors that some staff from Liverpool got moved to Evolution to continue the WipeOut brand, now I am not sure if that's real or not. Oh yah definately, most 3rd party large developer just run studios to the ground. On the flip side, you probably have to be extremely successful to survive in a first party environment though because you are only selling on one platform. I think if Sony PS4 is more successful with more hardware sales, they can support more 1st party devs, but if it lags behind PS3 then it would be hard, only the big fishes can survive (like Santa Monica and Naughty Dog)
