i agree that the PC gaming market takes a back seat to consoles in the eyes of developers / publishers. but developing for PC's is also more time consuming and resource intensive. They have to build a game that is compatible with a staggering variance in system hardware and performance, and work with multiple API's (although things like mantle are completely optional but you know there will be pressure to support it). not to mention at least 3 different operating systems, each with their own variations in how they operate. ontop of this, you also have the dreaded driver optimization problem.
when developing for a console its one set of hardware, running on one operating system, and using one set of drivers. once that code is perfected it will work optimally for 100% of the market. and with the current generation of consoles the architectures are so similar i'd be willing to wager that they dont have to completely re-write the code to get it to work with the other console (like ps4 for example if it was developed for xbone primarily).
yes, it sucks - but its completely understandable why PC releases are delayed, considering all the extra work needed to create a non-broken game on release.
