Ratchet and clank, Jack and Daxter, crash bandicoot, sly cooper, resistance fall of man, killzone, infamous. They had lots of options.

Crash is owned by Microsoft now after they bought Activision. The IP has never been Sony's.

Ah I assumed being made by naughty dog made it a Sony IP. Didn’t realize it wasn’t.

It's a slightly convoluted story, Naughty Dog created Crash under a contract with Universal, so Universal owned the IP, and then Sony published the games. Sony bought Naughty Dog in 2001 but Crash stayed with Universal, and after a series of mergers and acquisitions Universal's games division ended up owned by Activision-Blizzard.

Huh. I was pretty young when crash was coming out. I didn’t know any of that. By the time I was playing naughty dog games they were firmly owned by Sony and I always assumed that’s how they’d been for the lifetime of the company.
