Just shows you how incompetent those guys at EA are. For one, they thought the PS4 was destined to fail and that the X1 would be the victor. Did they not see the trend in the rise of popularity of the PS3 over the past 3 years?
The PS4 and PS3 have the most active community on BF4. Did they think that would change with Titanfall? Here are the current active players by platform at the time of this post.
This article mentions that it was a mistake because the PS4 is gaining large numbers fairly quickly despite the inventories being low across retail chains, but it fails to mention that the PS3 has sold over 80 million consoles. I wonder how many potential customers are on that platform alone? I get if they thought the PS4 was going to fail and they kept that out, but why would you not allow the game on the PS3? That is an epic fail, EA.

@shingi_70 Under their contract, they didn't need to give him consent and that's his own damn fault.

You bet on the wrong horse, EA.
