The best hope for a future re-release of AC7 on PC or Xbox will depend heavily on the sales of the game on PS4. That's just the reality of things. I agree. Let's all not forget that this will be the first game in the series to be launched on PS4/XB1-era console, which is the PS4 itself, so they don't wanna take the risk of doing multiplatforms immedieately.

Remember the PS3/X360-era ? Ace Combat games from that era started out as single-console exclusive (X360) with AC6, and then they made ACAH multiplatforms on home console first. Since the revenue from the sales was quite satisfying, they ported it to PC. Due to the backlash regarding the content of the game, Bamco made the F2P ACI, which is only for PS3, due to budget issues.

Oh, and let's not forget that while most of Ace Combat fanbases comprise of Playstation players, not all of the PS4 players are Ace Combat fans. Remember how small this fanbase compared to other AAA franchises. Just saying.
