In fact, examples of Sony created new IPs include...
Uncharted, Motorstorm, The Last Guardian, Sports Champions
Demon's Souls, inFAMOUS, Resistance are Sony owned, but 3rd party developed.

They are still Sony created IP because those third party companies were contracted to develop the games for Sony. So any creative work that they did while developing those games is done on the behalf of Sony.

Nah, not really. To be the creator, you had to have done the handy work. Sony finds the talent, no doubt, but that still doesn't make them the creators of the IP. It's simple really, to be considered the creator, you had to "create" the object in question.
That's like saying Sony created HEAVY RAIN because of their ability to find the talent, and/or give tips on how to perfect the project. In truth, they still didn't create the IP. You can find out easy too, as most devs (even the ones Sony owns) say that "Sony gives them the freedom to create whatever it is they want to create".

Hiring a developer to create a game is the same thing as hiring employees to develop a game. If Sony didn't create Resistance then they didn't create Twisted Metal. David Jaffe created twisted metal.

sony doesnt "hire" developers to make games. they dont go to companies with the new IP and tell them to develop it.
A developer will come to sony with an idea pitch or demo and in return for funding/advertising they develop it exclusively for that platform. developers like sucker punch and eat sleep play etc have an easier time doing this because they have a history with sony.
developers that have history with the company or are very talented can be put under contract to make a certain number of games.
But the IP is 100% created by those development studios not sony. sony can have input in development, they can cancel or greenlight the project, they can increase or decrease budget but whatever they do the IP is not sonys idea.
as an example, sucker punch went to sony with infamous, said we want to develop this for you exclusively if you fund us, sony agrees.
sony most certainly did not come to sucker punch and say "we have this IP called infamous and we want you to develop it"
hope that clears everything up, unless i read your comments wrong, tis late lol
