Sony as in the actual corporation of which Sony Pictures, Sony Interactive Entertainment (aka Playstation), Sony Electronics are various sub-divisions doesn't work that way.

Each vertical is kind of semi-autonomous. The goal is "Make money and don't become so unprofitable that we earn more selling you off". Sony Pictures was on the verge of that happening numerous times. Spider-Man is all that they have to protect themselves from that.

I also worry what this means for the next Spider-Man game from Insomniac if promotion is all out of whack via Perlmutter.
Sony Interactive Entertainment (aka Playstation) which recently bought Insomniac Games completely (just like it bought Naughty Dog and other studios) is a separate vertical from Sony Pictures. Marvel's gaming licenses are a different situation from movie licenses.

So relax. S.I.E. are not Electronic Arts.
