Companies make decisions that seem ridiculous to observers on message boards all the time. You were assuming they had to be thinking a certain way just because it makes the most sense to you. Without any sources to go on. And you made it sound like you were explaining how it clearly must work. In other words, you were making up an explanation, based on some quick logic... right? Sorry if it sounded like I was picking on you, in retrospect my post sounds rather snarky.
I think the reality is probably more complicated. The game is published by Atari, so there was likely some kind of agreement that took place early on in the development of the game, which made it so that Sony as a company couldn't suddenly keep the game from being released just because they suddenly wanted it for themselves. Early on, the game probably wasn't considered such an important factor that its exclusivity was more important than the reinvigoration of the IP and the liscensing money Sony got. If that's the case, it was a judgement call which they very well may have regretted later. But of course, I'm just guessing.
