It didn't cost them a lot. That was all paid for by MS. It cost MS a lot they should've used on their own IP though...

Well at the end of the day this is just conjecture from both of our ends.   You assume MS paid for enough, but honestly I think this is what happened: MS agreed to pay for all of the marketing, and in return SE could push back the PS4 release so they didn't have to compete with Uncharted 4.  But now TR sold terribly on X1 and the PS4 launch is a little closer than it was going to be.

Wouldn't this be wrong though? As far as I know, exclusivity deals have a set expiry date...
