Unless Microsoft puts a billion dollars on the table - ballpark figure (of speech) - Titanfall will come to PS4. I mean they could simply buy Respawn Entertainment, if they are for sale, that is.
Other than that, there's really nothing to this exclusivity. Dude - the Titanfall cloud shit they're talking about? It's merely dedicated servers. Battlefield has had dedicated servers on consoles since its debut. EA will run a few of their own, and have deals with local ISPs to rent them to players too, for sure. Or just coax Sony into running the dedicated servers for them.
The cross-promotional benefits for EA and Respawn are insane, priceless really. While Microsoft gets its killer application for the Xbox One (at the very least temporarily), Titanfall is the highest profile game on the circuit - because it's currently an exclusive, and it holds the prestigious role of being the Xbox One's first killer app.
These circumstances raise the profile of Titanfall way beyond what it would have been, if the franchise had launched as a multiplatform title. Of course it helps that it looks incredibly exciting (at least to competitive online multiplayer FPS fans like myself).
Everybody who has even a passing interest in gaming will know Titanfall, regardless of if they prefer Xbox One or Playstation 4, because it will serve as differentiator, a game we will talk about profusely.
