Sony never totally owned either, Universal owned Crash (through a 3 game contract with ND) and Spyro. Either way Naughty Dog created Crash for the Playstation under a co publishing agreement with Universal and Sony but when Sony wanted to buy ND, Universal said "if they go Crash stays" so ND gave up creative rights to crash. Isomniac I believe either sold off Spyro or when they went independent had to leave Spryo with the publisher. Universal only saw the money and marketability behing Crash and never realized that the series would be nothing without Naughty Dog, and I would say the same for Spyro. Currently Vivendi owns both franchises
