    Chances are that it has something to do with SE having to go through Sony to get the patch out on the PS4/3 as well, which might take up some time.

    Games that are exclusive to PC, like WoW, don't have this issue, meaning it takes less time to push content patches out.

    The only thing that is distributed on the PS3/4 version of the game is the launcher and the base game and expansion. The patches are all downloaded using SE's own infrastructure. So to get the patch on PS3/PS4 we all need to launch the launcher, it updates, relaunch, login with SE account, patch starts downloading. Same as on PC.

    The launcher itself "ffxivboot" is small so probably doesn't take an overly long time to get through whatever certification process Sony uses.
