Why would it be anti-consumer? Not only this is a IP that was already owned and created by Sony, but it's stuck without new games for years now, so if Sony comes to Activision to try a deal to make a Crash game, how could it be anti-consumer at any level?

Only in a situation where Activision would be moving to make a release themselves, and Sony were to swoop in and secure a deal to have it be playstation exclusive, which Is what I would imagine happening.
If Sony were to approach Activision and basically fund the project, then it'd be no different than Bayonetta 2. I'd say Tomb Raider but despite what the developers say, I suspect the game would have released without Microsoft's interaction, especially given the performance of the previous title.
But generally, I consider restricting a game that was initially planned to be multi platform, anti-consumer.
I consider funding a game that would otherwise not have been made, and as a result, the game be exclusive or timed exclusive, acceptable, so long as the arrangement behind it isn't super restrictive.
Personally, i'd rather if Crash was made, that it went multi-platform, as it would sell more, and selling more means a higher probability that they won't just abandon the IP again.
