Again not a comic fan so I don't keep up with it but I don't believe they partnered up for Injustice but instead P1 got the license for it alone (but only injustice). And they have may have "partnered" up for New 52 but I doubt it was Prime 1's first choice, same with Injustice.
They are doing that because that's all they can do. If they could do the other stuff like Hush, Bermejo, etc in 1/4th SS just can't compete. So they let them do the garbage they wouldn't do themselves like New 52. It's like PCS going for the marvel gamerverse license. It is 100% not their first choice but SS has the license for proper Marvel locked up.
I don't doubt if P1 could do other licenses in 1/4 they would. We see plenty of other 1/4th stuff in other licenses where they can do other scales. They would still probably do plenty of 1/3 as well but considering anything that's from a DC series or design is 1/3 (that anyone really wants) I certainly believe that's because they are forced to do 1/3.
SS' greatest strength isn't their statues cause they are bottom/middle tier these days, but they have a lot of the best licenses locked down.
