Sony have the largest roster of first party devs, and to be honest one of the best pool second party partners.
They got rid of a bit of dead weight ( :[ ) in the past 2 years with big big, sony liverpool and Zipper.
With so many close partners, you would think they are looking at securing a talented team to work closer with them.
Some of the obvious are the likes of Quantic Dream, Ready at Dawn.
I believe they would even try and snap up Insomniac Games (if sunset overdrive flops)
But then there's indie devs who make industry standard AAA games like ThatGameCompany, Hello Games & Giant Sparrow.
And others who focus on playstation and PC such as Q Games and Double Eleven.
As a note, Sony's latest studio consists of university grads, called Pixelopus (They made Entwined)
But with the PS4 being succesful, they need to snap crackle and pop someone from somewhere.
For example, with the success of littlebigplanet, sony snapped up Media Molecule, and likewise with Infamous and Sucker Punch, last gen.
Overall, I would say Insomniac. They have 3 teams, provide the fun, creativity most games lack, and would strengthen their lineup severely. Allow one team to focus on mobile and casual, and the other two teams can rotate between platforming style games and hardcore games. I respect Insomniacs independency, but I feel their games were better in their prime when they were working uber close with Sony, almost like a first party, instead of a third party who will only make exclusive ratchet & clank games on Playstation.
