It was obviously not a part of the deal to announce the PS4 version months before One release, now some will obviously wait instead of buying a console for one game, and even PC version, before X1 release, is that a mistake from Square Enix or ... ?

 

What do you think ?

Very much doubt it. Most people were saying that exclusivity will only last 3-6 months. MS can now come out and say 'actually, it's a whole year'. I have already seen a few of the MS PR guys retweet the tweet from SE about this so it's hardly something they want to hide/are upset about.

Then they are idiots.  Having it confirmed to release on the PS4 will only hurt the games sales this holiday season.  I have yet to see anyone that just has a PS4 complain that it is a year delay instead of 3-6 months.  Most are just happy they will be able to play it without having to get an XB1.

Actually it's not such a silly idea. If everyone other than delluded Xbox fans, and people incapable of unspinning PR spin, were predicting that PC/PS4 release would be in Q1 next year, then it might be that MS decided that in terms of attracting people to Xb one, the illusion of permanent console exclusivity was failing, and that they would get more mileage out of the exclusivity if prospective PS4 buyers knew they'd have to wait a year. Or if PS4 owners wouldn't want to wait a year and they would go and buy Xb one instead of waiting. It's actually a pretty plausible motiviation to release the exclusivity details.
