I don't think we will revive PS2 or PS1 days but I think PS4 next 3 or 4 will be much better than PS3 best year...
More japanese games, better indie support than PS3 and like PS3 1rst party support...

Microsoft, Square Enix "very happy" with Rise of the Tomb Raider, despite reported sales [Eurogamer].
Clearly they're talking about the game itself and not it's commercial success. I look forward to playing it next year

And virtual reality of course
Still smart though, XB1 gamers have a very good Uncharted style game to play, helps widen the depth of the library
They'd have got the game anyway if it stayed (launch) cross platform.Didn't MS help fund the development? Wasn't part of the justification for timed exclusivity that MS stepped up?
but not likely at the performance profile and polish that it's currently operating at.
You're saying it wouldn't look or run as well on PS4?
we're talking about the Xbox One version - if it was cross platform, it wouldn't have run as well as it does in its current state (developed as an exclusive)You're saying it wouldn't look or run as well on PS4?
Buh it could have possibly been a PR twist and nothing more. If MS paid SE for timed -exclusivity it could easily be interpreted as "helped in the funding" without having any particular meaning. SE would of course have used that money in the development. No matter how you see it, SE got money in advance.
Since the first release target was XBO it is also naturally to expect SE to optimize the game well. Regardless, it is still meaningless

By that very logic, the PS4 version coming out next year won't look/run as well. That's basically what you're saying unless I'm having a logics fail moment.
It's doubtful, as they are not listed as co-producers anywhere. It's produced by CD, published by SE, distributed by MS on xbox. However in contrast, when MS helped fund the development of Titanfall it was stated clearly.
The terms of the contract will probably never be known, we can only speculate. It could be a lot of money changing hands, or it could be just MS providing a major amount of publicity in exchange for the timed exclusivity, and secrecy about the nature of the exclusivity (until it blows up). The current sales figure should hint at the amount of money needed to make the deal a happy one for SE/CD.
You're having a logistics fail. 
Iroboto's saying at the moment, highly optimised, the XB1 version of RotTR is using say 98% of XB1's potential. Had it been developed cross platform for release now, it'd be running at say 80% of XB1's potential because it wouldn't have had the same focus. So the XB1 version wouldn't have looked so good as it does now. PS4 version would also be about 80% of PS4 tapped, so looking better than XB1 but not as good as if the title were developed as a PS4 timed exclusive.
That's his theory anyhow. I'm unconvinced it'd be that much more refined. If the intention is to release multiplat, you still design and develop for multiplat. The only way it'd really target XB1 is if it were completely platform exclusive. Where RotTR may be improved is specialist support from MS and development of specific XB1 techniques that perhaps it wouldn't have gotten if it were multiplat all the way. IMO.

My recollection is TR didn't sell as well as expected and MS stepped up to help fund development, atleast that is what we discussed here back around E3 when everyone was upset about MS exclusivity. In that context and with the earlier UC release dates it would have made sense for MS to fund some of the development/assume some of the risk for the publisher because they'd be getting a title which fits the same genre as UC. As was already pointed out we don't know the nature of MS's deal so its hard to say anything with certainty.

To further expand on Shiftys comment: I don't believe the PS4 version should suffer as a result of it being made as a timed exclusive for XBO. They have over a year to port and specialize it for PS4. That's a lot of time for a port with no changing requirements; It should run and look fantastic as well.

Wow indeed.
