It is not realistic though.

For example, some of those studios could be working on ports.  Others could be supporting the initiatives of other studios whilst maintaining a Vita focus etc.

Taking a conservative estimate for major first party games at costing $40 million (very conservative for the bigger ones in particular) that'd be a $440 million investment in first party games before taking into account ongoing costs of studio maintenance, paying a single dollar for third party content etc.  Don't get me wrong, I hope that is the case because it'd be awesome, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Which ones would be working on just ports, and what game would they be porting?

I couldn't possibly name them.  Just as no one can name the high budget/high quality/high sales/*insert your preferred AAA metric here* games that any of the others are working on - not being Sony Computer Entertainment's CFO and all!

Naughty Dog - Uncharted PS4

Polyphony - GT 7

Santa Monica - Cory Barlog's game (God of War IV also??)

Guerilla - Brand new AAA IP already confirmed.

San Diego - I think these guys only do MLB soooo yeah.

Sucker Punch - Def not doing ports, AAA game next (inFAMOUS 3??)
