An obscene amount of money for a studio that has not made an original system-seller-kind-of-IP since forever. Spider-man isn't theirs, once Marvel chooses to give it to another developer, you'll be left with forgotten IPs.

I think I heard that Sony owns Spiderman as in they don't simply have a license to use it but downright own it. Not sure how that works but that's what I heard.

Depending on Insomniac's talent, 230 million dollars is not that much. A single semi successful AAA game makes way more money than that. And that's just a single game selling 4 million copies (4 million x 60 dollars each is 240 million dollars). Just one game selling 10+ million units totally crushes those figures.

Last Spider man was quality from what I hear so it seems they know what they are doing. They just need to do one more and they are paid for or so it seems to me.

You might be thinking about the movie rights. Marvel is tagging all their IP's; Marvel's Spiderman, Marvel's Advengers. Im sure that is being done to make it known these are not just licensed out products and have heavy involvement from Marvel themselves. Sony just has the license currently.
