Yeah, and that's basically why Insomniac sticks with Sony. Sony basically helps them with whatever they need, and they seem to have a lot of sway with Sony in getting what they want. In the end, for a studio that survives on the profit of it's own titles, I don't think they'd take to kindly to Sony forcing them to push back their title. And I'm sure Sony wouldn't want to offend them in any way, thus they concede to Insomniac. Conversely, with GG Sony can just say, "Deal with it." :P |
I think its unlikely Insomniac have to survive off the profit of their own titles, unless you consider such profit to include substantial money-hatting from Sony to disuade them from the massive sales Resistance 2 could get on the Xbox 360

Insomniac sticks with Sony because they have all the perks of being a first party developer (cheap, if not free, dev kits, getting dev kits way before everybody else [even a lot of first party studios, from what I hear], etc.), while retaining the creative independence of a third party studio.
Having Sony order them to delay their game would essentially mean they've lost that independence, something they would not take to kindly to. Hell, their highly independent nature is the main reason they haven't allowed themselves to actually be bought by Sony yet, unlike Naughty Dog and others.
