Many of those studios will never pan out. Maybe a couple studios with big hits, but not all of them.

And it's not like Sony is giving financial support to all the indie devs. They cherry-pick a few promising ones and go from there. Sony's sponsorship of indies is pretty overblown.

Really overblown, look at the past 7 years at indiecade sponsorship, than look at indie stage time for big game conventions!

 

You think the support of indies is over blown?

In very blunt terms Sony is Quite well invested into indies more so than Nintendo an Microsoft combined.
