This is completly wrong, it's actually funny how wrong.
Naughty Dog, in business 17 years before sony bought them in 2001
Guerilla, founded 04, made an multiplat game before sony bought them in 2005
Evolution studios was making a pc game but they were interested in the wrc license sony owned so they went exclusive then sony bought them in 07
Suckerpunch was founed at microsoft, their first game was a n64 game then sony funded sly in order to get the game exclusive then they were bought 2011
Media Molecule was started at Lionhead, they broke off from Lionhead and took the games they were working on and got funding from sony, they were bought in 2010
The only 2 successful sony started studios were Polyphony and Santa Monica.

Sony has a handful of development branches in America and Sony Santa Monica is at the top. You also forgot about Sony Japan and Team ICO. I said that Sonys companies that they've purchased have been second party before buying them. You have not proven me wrong.....at all. You're only bolstering my point whilst giving a history lesson.

Um, I did prove you wrong.
1. You said most successful, I listed the most successful studios, team bend, san diego, foster city, london, japan studio are not that successful, they may have cult hits, but not many big sellers.
2.You said sony made internal studios, 2nd party studios are not sony made.
3. MS is not 'learning from sony'. Sony turns a studio 2nd party then buys them if the partnership is successful. MS is building brand new studios from the ground up.
