Actually when I read it again I found this:
Is there a time limit on the exclusivity period?
"Yes, the deal has a duration. I didn't buy it. I don't own the franchise."
So it seems clear to me that it's a timed exclusive, though it's still hidden in tons of PR speak.
It's not upfront compared to it's competitors. At Sony's conference they said "xyz game(s) are full exclusives while abc games are timed exclusives/console debut on PS4. You can talk all day about MS not being required to say anything, but it's still shady to just mask it in PR speak and not give a real answer. I'm not saying he has to say when the deal ends, that would be ridiculous, he just has to say if, but then he actually has in my quote though so....

If you think its shady, you think its shady. But I'd say you've got some rose-coloured glasses when it comes to Sony then!
And again, the deal has a duration, we don't know whether the deal applies to the game or the franchise - we have nothing even beginning to approach a confirmation.

I don't think the exclusive deal is shady, just being so elusive on what the deal actually is. I wouldn't know every time Sony does something like this. Because most of the time it isn't a megaton like Tomb Raider, but perhaps a small Indie or some exclusive DLC/Content for a game, therefore it doesn't get as much media attention and it just passes me by.
