Bad move unless they have data that shows PS4 sales are invariant to exclusive games (we have data showing this is NOT the case). Hopefully this is just a special case like the interview says and not a precedent. Losing exclusives will only loose sales, which will lower software sales and overall revenue.

How does making a game multiplat lose sales and lower revenue? 

The game does not, but Sony is not in the game making business, they're in the game platform and console business. 

Losing exclusives will result in less PS sales, which in turn means:

- less hardware sales

- less subs

- less platform software sales

Basically a cut in every segment of Sony's business bar software sales.
