The port would only be miserable if, assuming they released a new one during the launch window of the new consoles, they rushed it out around the same time. More likely the port would come out six months to a year later than the Xbox and PC versions. Early access to prototype hardware only gives you a head start. And they would still get the generally available version of the dev kits (post announcement) about a year before release.

Not exactly this, but roughly the timeline for devkits goes something like 3-4 years before: Only a handful of internal teams get access, 2 years before: select 3rd party partners, and most internal teams get access, 1 year before: everyone gets access.
