We have to understand too this might be one of the most expensive games ever made. Leaving it just on the PS4/PC may not sit well with shareholders.

Even if the bulk of sales are on the PS4, I'd say between XB1 and potentially an NX platform, Square-Enix could get an extra 2-3 million in sales, so I can see why they wouldn't just want to flush that down the toilet.

This is at the contrary exactly the reason why it would be"console exclusive" , because Square couldnt handle such expensive game alone, they needed a strong partnership, and it could only be Sony since japanese game + old PS2 game, just like SF V with Capcom who needed money to fund their game.

 

Square made understand many times that they couldnt handle such remake on their own, it would be too expensive. It is logicial that sony offered to help them in exchange of the total console exclusivity
