The Turning Test is a ID@Xbox game so they got resources from MS to make a console version. Like you said it was planned only for PC. If it wasnt for ID@Xbox it wont even have a console release.

I dont work at Square so i cant answer those questions. According to them they should support. Maybe it was because they showed the reboot at their E3. 

Well that's completely wrong, you should at least read the article I cited because they specifically mention ~

 

The Turing Test is going to launch on Xbox One and PC as a timed exclusive- we decided to ask him about the reasoning behind this decision, asking him why a PS4 version was skipped. Philpott explained that Microsoft’s enthusiasm and support for the project led to the choice.

“It’s a timed exclusive on Xbox One, Microsoft really love the game and have really supported our studio get the game to their console first,” he said. “The game was developed on Steam, hence the simultaneous release on PC and Xbox One. We may look to other platforms in the future!”

 

No where in there do they say they weren't intending on bringing it to console. In fact, they were asked directly why PS4 was "skipped" and they said it's because Microsoft showed "enthusiasm" whatever that means.

In the article it said it was started only on steam. MS helped them out through ID@Xbox so then it was announced to come to consoles but Xbox One before PS4 because the game is.in the ID@Xbox program so MS is giving them.resources.
