They have the option to release sequels to SO on multiple platforms if they choose. Not the first game though since Microsoft is funding it's development and marketing. They also suggested in an interview today that the reason they wanted ownership of the IP is because they don't like the idea of a publisher giving the IP over to another developer when they feel like moving on to something else, they don't want to have no say over the future of their IP. |
Since we don't have the contract it is just conjectures. And I don't remember sony taking any IP that were being developed by Insominiac and making other dev make it...
Probably the biggest reason is trying new IP and since they had a stellar flop in the last try Sony didn't want to foot the bill. Even the last R&C was badly received.
