While the article (or Gilray) doesn't flat out say the PC version will be intentionally delayed, it's pretty much implied.
No, it’s outright stated.

In light of Unity streamlining the development process, we ask Gilray about the benefits of platform parity (releasing on as many systems as possible at the same time). “I have a huge concern with the PC format and piracy,” he says. “There are some people I know who, if a game comes out on console and PC the same day, they’ll pirate the PC version and not bother buying any version. But if there’s a delay of the PC version, they’ll buy the PlayStation version for example, and then pirate the PC version afterwards. For small business, I don’t want to release PC and Mac the same day as console, because I’m pretty certain my sales on console will be affected.
Not particularly happy to hear Gilray has such a low opinion of the PC platform. Does he have any kind of stats (from recent games) that back him up?
