Andy Gavin, one of the co-founders of Naughty Dog, has explained why the company sold itself to Sony back in 2001. Posting on LinkedIn, Gavin said he's been asked "countless times" why Naughty Dog took the deal, and it was all about rising development costs.

Just a few years later, Jak 3's development cost came in at between $45 million and $50 million.
