As long as the game is good, all is well. It'll come to the three (four) platforms it would've come to regardless, and they get MS' help and money to make the game as good as it can be. Sure, PS4 owners that want it will have to wait another year, but there's plenty to play in the meantime, so I don't see any reason to complain.

The reason to complain is that a game people have supported (and remember Sony players have supported the last TR game more than XBox users)... now have to wait 1 year to get the next game.

It's not a way to reward your loyal userbase :)

When have any exclusive 3rd party deal rewards the userbase?  These deals are not about rewarding platform holders its to finance a project to reduce risk.
