Microsoft is co publishing and paying for the development of the game Phil came out and said he wouldn't help development of a game if it shows up on the competitors platform. Just look at Titan Fall, Dead Rising 3 and Ryse. Microsoft doesn't own the ip of those games, but what Microsoft does own is the name of the game and the assets they use to make the game (sound effects,music and graphics mainly). This is why Ninja Gaiden 2 (published by Microsoft) has a different name and different graphics on the ps3 version. They can release rise of the tomb raider technically on the ps3/ps4 but it has to go under a different name and they have to have all the graphics and music redone. I don't see that happening. The other option is Square Enix pays Microsoft for the rights to the name and the assets which is more likely.
