Because they do it with Square Enix. Final Fantasy XIV:ARR is cross platform with PC, PS3, and soon PS4. Warframe will also have crossplatform play soon with PS4 and PC.

As far as I know they are just holding back the patches on PC so that they go up at the same time as the console versions so that they match up, something that the developers of Star Citizen nad Planetside 2 are not willing to do.

 

Pass some of that source for that claim dude.

"Because of the update cadence, and the additional steps you have to go through to be able to release an update on the PlayStation network, we're not going to be able to keep our servers in sync, so you won't be able to just play with the same people," Higby explained.

Unless you think that a first party studio would have more issues than a 3rd party one I see no other way.
