"The Division: 2015 "a bit optimistic", devs don't want to "do a Battlefield"
Original article:
Last night it was confirmed by Ubisoft that The Division would indeed not see release in 2014.
With this announcement fresh in mind, we've been updated by our source on where the game is currently, with Ubisoft bringing in several external developers to the project (Reflections and Red Storm confirmed), and an increased budget to ensure a fantastic end result.

Finally our source tells us of how annoyed people at the studio were at Ubisoft without consulting with Massive when they revealed a 2014 street date at last year's E3.
"It felt like being punched in the face to be perfectly honest. At the end of the day we don't want to do a Battlefield 4 and release an unfinished game. There's too much potential in the concept that is The Division at the moment, that we've asked for more time and resources in order to fully realise this fantastic vision."

Then there's this lil nugget:
"That's not correct. PlayStation 4 is the more powerful hardware and we feel it is easier to develop for. Snowdrop works better on PS4 and even if Microsoft do want us to shift lead platform that's not something that has happened."
