It is bullshit because there are a lot of middleware and tools to works with both.

But lets guess it is true:

Develop DX12: small userbase
Develop PS4 = big userbase

If I was a developer who I will choose? It is a hard decision lol

The amount of NEW PCs sold in one month is more then then PS4 has sold in almost 2 years (290 million sold last year)..   Even the "slowed" sales of PCs .. Yes not all of them are "pc gaming" PCs.. but either way..  well more then 100 million PCs out there will benefit from DX12..     The USERBASE for DX12 is at minumum 5 times greater then PS4..   Steam itself has over 100 million users..  and that doesn't represent every gamer in the world..   so. yeah..  Windows 10 being a free upgrade will help adoption and support for DX12 even more..    

PS4 = Small Userbase

DX12 = Massive worldwide userbase..
