Gotta love the start of a new gen, lots of new IP's, some that will fail utterly and some that will see monumental success. It's a time of real change and experimentation.
If we look at this gen Sony made exclusive deals with Factor 5, Ninja Theory, Evolution Studios, Insomniac, United Front Games, Quantic Dream, Sucker Punch, Bandai Namco, Cohort Studios, Relentless Software, Coldwood Interactive, Sanzaru Games, Lightbox Interactive, Zindagi Games, Supermassive Games, Ready At Dawn, Mass Media Inc., Eat Sleep Play, Nihilistic Software, Level 5, Game Republic, From Software and Clap Hanz.
We tend to focus purely on first party studios on this site, even though a massive amount of content comes from second or third party developers. Last gen there were some big projects from third parties early on for the PS3, so even though Sony have acquired more studios, I'd still expect some big third party exclusives in the first year or two after launch of the PS4.
