Ya, but it's not going to be as much as a crutch as people are going to make it out to be. The issue with ps3 is it was like making the game for another Operating System. Even though PS3/PS4 come from sony, making the game is different for both version, hence why it's such a hassle to get backwards compatibility with the recent Playsation aka Ps3 had no Backwards compatibility with PS2 even though they were the "same system".

Making a workable version for both PS3 and PS4 can easily feel counter intuitive because you are basically "fighting" against the same market of people, the profit margin for supporting both is hurt by having to make the same game twice for different system. At least if they were to jump to Nintendo or Xbox the range of new players they could obtain would be a lot greater than the handful that is grabbed from supporting both PS3/4.
