**UPDATE 2/12/13* Activision cofirmed they still own Crash “Activision owns Crash Bandicoot and we continue to explore ways in which we could bring the beloved series back to life,” a representative told us. While this might not be as hopeful as if the IP had changed hands, it still does keep a glimmer of hope alive."
Ever since Crash's cameo in the PS4 launch trailer, there has suddenly been all kinds of news of Crash on the PS4 popping up. It somewhat started with Youtuber jerimiahisaiah revealed a conversation between him and a FB friend named Login, who works for Treyarch (a subsidiary of Activision)
Ever since Crash's cameo in the PS4 launch trailer, there has suddenly been all kinds of news of Crash on the PS4 popping up. It somewhat started with Youtuber jerimiahisaiah revealed a conversation between him and a FB friend named Login, who works for Treyarch (a subsidiary of Activision)
In the conversation Login basically says the Crash Bandicoot series is no longer an IP of Activision, it has switched over to Sony as a PS4 exclusive title.
Now while a lot of people have been saying that he pretty much confirmed Crash is Sony's now, right? Well, here;s the thing. He didn't really say he was told this. He started the conversation as "So, I saw you guys heard something new about Crash." Which sounds like he heard it too the same way everyone else has, rather than learning it from his employers. So, yeah I wouldn't call this 'solid'.
Before you guys kill over out of excitement, listen.
In this article from Gamepur.com claims that on Amazon France a Crash Bandicoot title exclusive to the PS4 has already been posted on there ready for when it ready to be bought (not uncommon to happen on Amazon, especially the European and Asian versions, for some reason)
While this is interesting, take a look at the link for the page.
The internet address is no active page of the website. Kind of fishy.

It might be possible Sony caught wind of this possible reveal ruiner, or the author from Gamepur simply decided to do a prank. Though I can't confirm or deny this.
Now before you angry comment like crazy, let me make it clear. I am not trying to step on your hopes and dreams. I'm simply trying to get you guys to understand not to get your hopes so high up on something that you have got to agree doesn't seem a 100%.
I'll keep you guys up to date if anything else pops up.
