Nope, MS had that ability last gen for a number of reasons: 360 was selling more, it was easier to develop for, PS3 was bombing, MS was willing to moneyhat the big games and only ended up getting a timed exclusive GTA DLC.
No big game will ignore the PS4, they can't afford to.
How do you know they tried for anything else? For the reasons you listed, they never had to. Now? Different story.
