Why would they do that? Pass up on the opportunity to farm as much data as possible. It is possible that the PS4 is slightly easier for them to meet there specs on so the content will be beta ready a little bit early with a little bit of buffer room to iron out the details on MS consoles. It's also possible that they just chose to meet the specs first on Sony's consoles instead of trying to finish on all platforms at the same time. (Which yes probably resulted from a monetary incentive provided to the team) But if that is the case - why stop pulling in data from one source if you're still open to feedback elsewhere? Sure it's possible they would do something like that to maintain goodwill, but really that's kind of spiteful to wish. "You need to have less fun because I had less fun" (I know you're not wishing this on anyone just opening a conversation) This announcement may or may not affect me as I am waiting for my group of comrades to buckle down on their next gen purchase selection before I buy my own. But honestly, as long as I get to play in the beta as well as the full game when it releases then I'm content. If you get to play the game more than I do, I'm happy for you - go have fun.
