Yes...and as I said to someone...Sony's power is political drawing from popularity and the sway that holds over the industry like the PS2 era. Microsoft has never had that and still doesnt have that. 

To the second part, no. You know as well that Square Enix would not sellout Microsoft this generation after last generation. In terms of sales for these types of games PS4> Xbox One> PC......as always. Unless Sony outbids Microsoft its not happening and their politics didnt stop Microsofts bid for FFXV. Whenever we see the "first on" situation we know its a tactic to draw the audience from direct competition. Microsoft and Sony have been doing timed exclusivity forever so I dont know how this cannot be seen.

It isn't about "selling out" (Microsoft isn't owed FFVII Remake). After one long year of exclusivity, there's little to no reason to release it on the X1 (though I'm not saying it WON'T happen, either). For many, FFVII MADE PlayStation, so a release later will be pointless on the machine with a weak presence in important, FFVII, region(s). Most who will want it will buy it on the PS4 (or buy a PS4 for it). A PC release is of no consequence.

Xbox gamers will buy it, but not in the desired quantity that you would consider worthy of accolades. FFVII will sell Playstation consoles just like FFXV will sell Playstations in Japan (even though its multiplat). If FFXV gets a great reception on the XBox One on PS4 I could not even fathom how much VII will sell in next gen form.
