Perhaps this is a reaction to Microsoft straight up buying Titanfall to keep it off the PS4. The head of the studio creating the game was unaware [i]his own game[/i] was locked as a console exclusive. It was a backroom deal between Microsoft and EA. In case the significance isn't clear, it means the PS4 version exists. It was being worked on alongside the Xbox version but Microsoft paid EA not to sell it. You lament over a few scraps (stike, map, mission), being exclusive for a year. However there has already been a worse precedent. An entire game kept off a competing platform [i]forever[/i]. Microsoft hinted the franchise would always be locked down to their xbox. Luckily the XBOne sold so poorly they don't have the leverage to make that happen again (i.e. Halo). EA sees the +10million PS4 install base and wants some of that action now. Microsoft cannot afford to keep the sequel off the PS4 this time.
