Probably not allowed to advertise it.

What if Sony came out and said "$40 all DLC" and showed optimized game play footage?

That would absolutely kill any sales from here until November. That would mean Microsoft would be missing out on 6 months of sales for people waiting.

Then again if it was just "$60 no DLC" then all they would be doing is giving advertising for Microsoft.

So it really depends on WHY they didn't show it.

I'm not sure would anyone who was solely an X1 gamer not only hold off on buying Rise of the Tomb raider for it's PS4 launch but also... buy a PS4 just to get the DLC for this game or slightly improved lighting and frame rates? I really doubt it would impact the already pretty low sales this title has had, if anything it might remind X1 users that the game is out there right now if they missed it during the launch of Halo5 and Fallout 4 (literally launched in the worst window ever imo) and might pick up a copy while the game remains exclusive to the platform, a little bit of a middle finger to those PS4 users who boast about it coming out soon on their system if you get me?

But yeah I'm not sure anyone is going to jump ship from X1 > PS4 for the release of Rise of the Tomb Raider, could be wrong of course, but doubtful.
