The whole Nier: Automata thing was whack to be honest. We knew that it was coming from PC after being announced for the PS4 (through a Yoko Taro video where he screams "Valve!"), subsequently confirmed and reconfirmed throughout the different press stops, but trailers kept on pushing the PS4 version.
Then, it comes a week late in Steam with bugs all over.
I'm not saying that Sony had a deal with SQEX, but it just felt like this was a case of SQEX botching a PC launch rather than Sony getting into a deal with SQEX (because let's face it, at this point, Nier wasn't a proven IP yet and the last game bombed).
This would be a completely new case if SQEX isn't even allowed to talk about the game being released on Xbox on the same day as the PS4 version.
