That doesnt give sony a free pass to close down studios. They are just as guilty of it as Microsoft are.

It most certainly does ... (anything is valid as long as you keep delivering good games like Sony or EA does) 

If you don't deliver the results you end up with duds like Evolution (Driveclub), Bigbig (Little Deviant), Zipper interactive (SOCOM 4/Unit 13) and Guerilla Cambridge (they haven't done much of anything) ... (this applies to Nintendo as well for a company of their size since they internally cease teams from time to time and if Retro Studios isn't going to do anything then they should be cut as well) 

Nothing lasts forever including a studios performance and a developer is only as good as their last game ... (the relationship between studio/publisher should be symbiotic and not that of a parasitic one like we see between Rare and Microsoft) 

@OP Sounds encouraging to say the least so hopefully they release their plans for next year because their output is almost starting to match that of a big third party publisher which says a lot ... (I don't remember their first party efforts being as strong as it was when they first participated) 

I might PM you to continue the conversation, since the thread is getting a bit derailed here.
