Another Sony guy said that they're going to "help them get the game done." I imagine the reason Sony isn't explicitly saying they're funding the game is because they want people to keep donating. Plus if they're providing marketing, they're probably going to want to make sure the game is good. They have shown in the past to invest in very risky projects, I'd be pretty surprised if they held back for a game that is breaking records hype-wise.
