I feel like this could be an important point - or not. Depends on Sony, if they grab this chance. Something similar has happened to Nintendo in the N64- and Gamecube-era. As they couldn't rely on 3rd-parties as much anymore, they started to focus more on 1st-party output, especially in diversifying their games. I know, many say Wii only had minigames, but actually that were mostly 3rd-parties. Nintendo itself delivered a more varied selection, but many 3rd-parties kneeled deep into the mini-games and motion control. And well, they had success to some extend, Cooking Mama and especially Just Dance worked commercially.
So yeah, Sony might do similarly and focus on expanding and diversifying their 1st-party output.
