Sony should buy the crash IP and give it to SCEJA to reboot the franchise with ND overseeing the design. The reason I say that is because Crash - during the PS1 days - was one of the rare instances where a western game sells well in Japan. ND obviously overseeing the reboot as they have moved on to Uncharted/TLOU/Mature, story driven games (and personally I want them to stay there).
MS spent $2.5B for Minecraft and rumored to have paid hundreds of millions (or less than $100M if you believe Pachter) for Gears of War IP. Sony doesn't have the money chest that MS does, but the MS game division does not have the money chest the rest of MS does either. At this point, Crash would probably cost dozens of millions of dollars, at most IMO. A worthy investment for Sony to bring the little guy back home. Activision would have to be willing to sell it, of course.
