I'm not sure what kind of reasoning Sony could use to sell Microsoft on that kind of deal because it doesn't really accomplish anything. Spyro and Crash are pretty big sellers with both of the remaster trilogies selling 10 million and 20 million respectively. Even Crash 4 sold at least 5 million reported earlier this year. Plus, they're major family friendly franchises that Microsoft is looking for. Crash Trilogy being added to GP this past week has increased the player count by something like 3,000%. So they're already working to MS's advantage.
Toys 4 Bob didn't become independent with any IPs, but they've partnered with Microsoft for what seems to be something Spyro related judging by their updated website. The franchises are most likely going to be multiplat anyways, and the only real benefit on MS's side would them being available to GP subscribers.
Also, Sony never owned Crash or Spyro, so they really wouldn't be getting anything "back" lol.
