Microsoft was very much scared to take a risk here, while sony was not.

It happens all the time. Sony didn't want to take risk with Alan Wake either, that's why the game ended up on Microsoft platforms.

Source? I find it hard to believe Sony would have turned down Alan Wake when they happily threw money at Heavy Rain, Until Dawn, Puppeteer, L.A. Noire, Uncharted, The Last of Us, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance, inFAMOUS, Journey, etc.. Most of these titles are far riskier than an interesting Stephen King action thriller.
