Every Xbox One Day One edition console sold in Europe will include a copy of EA's FIFA 14 and the game's Ultimate Team Legends feature is exclusive to Microsoft's console, Peggle 2 and Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare will launch first on Xbox One, DLC for Battlefield 4 will be released first on Xbox One and Titanfall is currently not coming to PlayStation.
Despite all this, EA labels president Frank Gibeau insists the company has a "very good" relationship with Sony.
Speaking to CVG he said "We're changing nothing in our policy about being platform-agnostic. One of the things that struck me this week is how a tactical deal with one of our platform partners has been blown out and perceived as strategic tilt – that's a messaging error on our part. There is no strategic tilt.
"The Sony platform and the Xbox platform are both very important to us. If you look at the previous generation we did tactical deals with both Sony and Microsoft throughout the cycle. Titanfall is different, it's an EA Partners game – everything else is platform agnostic."
Gibeau added that's it's important for EA that both Sony and Microsoft perform well with the PS4 and Xbox One.
"Sony has been executing exceptionally well on the next-gen transition. Their hardware's hot, they're clear and disciplined and consistent with their policies, they are showing some amazing things with indies, so overall I couldn't be more pleased with how they're executing."
He concluded by saying "It's a long cycle, and certainly there's potential with Sony exclusivity deals too."
Gibeau's comments echo those of EA Canada's David Rutter who said that despite the deal for FIFA 14 with Microsoft Sony hasn't been left out of the picture. Rutter pointed to the PlayStation exclusivity of FIFA Interactive World Cup as evidence of EA's continued support for PlayStation.
