Terrible idea.
That would drive millions to use other devices (foremost X1 and PC).
Ghosts did almost 3m, Advanced Warfighter shouldn't have issues to reach 5m in a rather short time. Sony would be losing tens of millions dollar from royalties.
That doesn't include lost money from driving people to buy competitors software instead of their own.

You're assuming that Activision would bolt. I don't believe they would. When you look at the marketshare worldwide, releasing on Xbone only would be suicide. Sony could leaverage their install base against them and win this if they wanted to imo. 

The game is cross gen. X1, 360 and PC would easily be enough to make a profit (10-15m sales). Not counting the people on PS4 (and PS3 if Sony is strict) that would migrate to one of the other systems.
Activision could bolt easily this time and next year Sony would probably pay for Call of Duty to return to PlayStation after they see what brand damage that caused.
