Because Microsoft payed for it. Obviously. The whole "cloud" argument becomes useless when you see its also coming to Xbox 360 and PC. Besides, the Azure servers can be used for any platform, even PS3/PS4 if the developers pay for them.

The other platforms also get access to MS's cloud for Titanfall.

Why can't PS3/PS4 use MS's cloud? What's keeping them from using it?

Already answered further in the thread. Maybe they can, maybe they can't. But MS sure as heck wouldn't give them the deal they are getting right now. Which, according to the Respawn people, is the only thing that made this work.

I expect the game to come to PS4. But I expect it to be changed pretty significantly and use none of the MS cloud stuff and instead run on EA's own servers. And as a result be a pretty significant downgrade. But at least it will eventually show up.

Why not? MS wants to make money. The more people using their servers the more money they are going to make.
