SE probably did a deal based on projected sales of the XB1 provided by MS. SE then sat back confident that the money they took would compensate them for the revenue lost in sales for the PS4. Part of that deal would likely have been based upon that supposed increase in sales, which didn't transpire. That part is probably to do with the PS4 and PC announcement. SE were then caught in a trap: Announce it later in the hope that XB1 sales WOULD compensate them enough and get absolutely nothing from the PS4 release OR announce it sooner and at least recoup some of the good will. Then Fallout 4 was announced!
They opted for hopefully recouping some good will.
The PS5 Exists.
