Naughty Dog dropped Crash after PSOne, chances are they are dropping Jak for PS3 and they might drop Uncharted for PS4. Naughty Dog likes to create new IP's if you should be mad at anyone it should be Sony as far as I know they own the rights to Jak.

no they didn't , do some research , Crash and Spyro are owned by Activision not Sony, so its Activision that rejected working on Sony consoles only, and wanted to expand, thus handing those games to other developers other than Insomniac and Naughty Dog
lots of people think Naughty Dog/Sony owned the crash series, which isn't true.

They are currently owned by Activision...they weren't always. Both series have basically been tossed around nonstop since the end of the PS1 era, where they finally settled in by being owned by Activision post Vivendi merger.

Exactly as far as I know Naughty Dog did own the Crash franchise, they did drop that franchise after PSOne and Vivendi Universal aquired it as far as I know. Then Activision merged with Vivendi and now Spyro and Crash are owned by Vivendi.
But I'm pretty sure Naughty Dog origionally owned the IP rights to Crash. Prove otherwise? A source would be nice.

The IPS are owned by Universial Interactive Studios , which then turned into Vivendi Universial which then turned into Vivendi , and then they finally merged with Activision, which makes the IP owned by Activision, Sony never owned the IP only owned the rights to publish it, why? , because it was developed by naughty dog, which is a studio owned by Sony.
its kinda like Bioware / Microsoft and Mass Effect, MS never owned the IP but they owned the Publishing rights to publish the first game, and then EA decided expand their consoles, but this case, Bioware is still the developer since Bioware isn't a first party studio
