sypro was pretty big, the first one sold 5M apperantly.  didn't stop them from abandoning that franchise. jak and daxter was abandoned too (or so it seems so far).   infamous only came about because sly was abandoned.  oh sure, 4 is coming out next year but it's developed by sanzaru not sucker punch. 

Spyro declined in sales (5m to 3.7m according to chartz), and Sony never owned the IP.

Jak, again, declined in sales with each game. (jak and d: 3.7m, jak 2, 2.7m, jak 3, 1.8m, then that jak racing game only managed half a million)

Same story for Sly. (1.8m to 1.2m to 0.8m)

So I don't think these games compare well to GT or Uncharted for example.

i'll bet that if ND wants to move the uncharted team to something else sony will let them.
