As you told Starcraft, based on your own personal and intimate knowledge of the deal

Kyliedog is correct. Phil very carefully specifies that he is discussing the IP only. The 'deal' could very well be the duration before any Tomb Raider IP of substance can appear on other platforms - meaning its entirely feasible that this Tomb Raider game will skip the PS4 and PC altogether.

Eh, that's what Phil himself said. It's not that hard to figure out if you apply some reading comprehension. Whether it's about only this game or the "IP of substance" is highly irrelevant, because the deal has a duration. I can't believe some people still think it could not be timed...

I can already prove you wrong, because they are working on a Tomb Raider game for PS4 and PC, mentioned by Crystal Dynamics themselves. AND like I said, unless you believe the duration is more than 2 years, rise of the tomb raider WILL come to other platforms.  It will be a late port, but it will be extra millions of sales for Square Enix. Do you think they'd just skip this game and release the next one on other platforms? That would be stupid.

Yes, because of some vague wording we are to believe that this game is fully exclusive to XOne, as some here still try to spin.

Of course, they (MS or SE) could have been honest and admitted it's fully exclusive, like, for example:

- CAPCOM : http://www.totalxbox.com/60879/dead-rising-3-definitely-isnt-a-timed-exclusive-for-xbox-one-says-capcom/

Dead Rising 3 "definitely isn't a timed exclusive" for Xbox One, says Capcom

"We see a lot of this online. It's not coming to PS4 or PC."
