I posted a thread about this a long time ago. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=188583&page=0#1

Tomb Raider is Published, funded, and co-developed by Microsoft.  This is why it is very debatable that the timed means only PC.  While it could be on PS4 as well, usually published titles dont go to the competitor's platform.  If anything, i think this is Greenberg's way of saying that today

They're usually more direct about this sort of thing.

And Phil is on record as, more or less, saying they bought Holiday 2015 exclusivity and after that they have no especial hold on what CD/SE does with the game.

We'll see though. But if this is as far as MS can go in response to the news that SFV will never come to a non-PS console then that pretty much seals the inevitibility of RTR coming to PS4. If Greenberg could have tweeted that RTR was never going to be released on a non-Xbox console he would have done it by now. Though I suppose you've got to give MS a few more days to put out such a definitive statement so that, if true, they can make such a definitive statemetn, yet still obfuscate on PC. If they don't come out with something as definitive as the SFV statement fairly soon then we can be even more confident of a PS4 release some time after 1 Jan 2016.

Even though the time delay was very long, it should still be noted that Mass Effect 1 eventually came to PS3 even though it too was published by MS originally. Publication rights are not necessarily absolute, and it would be quite surprising if SE, which is a publisher in its own right, completely signed over publication rights to the game. When it eventiually does come to PC at least, which is all but guaranteed, it's likely it will be published by SE on that platform.
