And timed true exclusivity (e.g. Dead Rising 3 and Ryse)....

Still holding out for Dead Rising 3 on PS4... but don't hold out much hope for it, so expect that to be Console Exclusive, though as the OP states, it is getting confusing.

I would like to just know, is it coming out at some point or not. If not, thats fine I can reconcile with that, but yeah the confusing terminology generally seems to only confuse the userbase in the hope they will buy a console for a particular game. At the moment I dont trust the work Exclusive from either Sony or MS.

Sony has been a lot more honest when they use the term. I will admit that they are pretty subtle and sneaky when they announce timed exclusives as they don't exactly call them that. Instead, they say "first on Playstation." MS, on the other hand, uses the term, exclusive, really loosely. Dead Rising 3 and Ryse weren't the only "exclusives" that went multiplat or downgraded to console exclusive. Ninja Gaiden, for example, was renamed Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3. Alan Wake eventually came out on PC. Even Mass Effect 1, which was published by MS, eventually released for the PS3. It's because of this that I hold very little confidence about the exclusivity of Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive. QB could eventually go to PC. Sunset Overdrive could eventually go on PS4 as "Sunset Turbodrive" or whatever. Not saying that it'll definitely happen, but the probably is not zero nor near-zero.
