Again, NO, THEY DID NOT! If they did, it would be a permanent Xbone exclusive. They paid for publishing, marketing and background support for developing it on Xbone's hardware, that's it. They did NOT pay for the entire game. Plus, they still have the costs of porting it to PS4 with all the bug fixes. Considering it was built for the XB1's hardware from the ground up, it's not going to be cheap. Hence, even with MS's support, if the game flops on PS4 like it did on Xbone (I wouldn't put it past it to be a failure on PS4 as well next year), it's all over for this franchise.
