Very few would celebrate, but there would be plenty of people (Xbox TR fans) pissed off if the situation were reversed. Even then, the bigger percentage of the fanbase is on PC/PS so the situationisn't entirely equal if reversed.
A similar situation would be if Battlefield 5 was announced timed exclusive for Playstation (bigger fanbase on Xbox and bigger still on PC). Deals like this, where previous games have sold very well on alternative platforms will simply serve to piss off your fanbase.
OT: Either way, this deal is going to piss off the majority of the fanbase (60-80% of TR players were on PC or Playstation). What hasn't helped is the ambiguity of the original announcement (and how they still have to keep hush-hush about the duration of the deal). The ferrocity of the comments on Crystal Dynamics' social media pages was bordring on 'ME3 ending' levels of hatred.
I think it'll still sell well eventually. SE are probably hoping that by releasing it on PS4 in a quiet period, they won't have to compete directly with Uncharted and other holiday games. They may actually have a point and if MS want to spend their money marketing the hell out of TR for holiday 2015, then so be it. SE are going to have to overcome a lot of negative PR with this franchise though.
