Answers all those questions and rumours. Finally.
Does the exclusive to Xbox have a duration? Is it timed? How long is the duration? Can we expect a PlayStation 4 or PC release in the future?
Yes, our deal with Microsoft has a duration. We aren’t discussing details of the deal, and are focused on delivering a great game on Xbox One and Xbox 360.
What does exclusive to Xbox mean?
It means that Rise of the Tomb Raider is coming Holiday 2015 exclusively on Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Still doesn't say what the other platforms in the future will be.
Wait, this game is cross-gen?
We did not make this decision lightly.
If the duration is longer than a year might as well not release the other versions.
This too.
Ever heard of Windows?Long history with Microsoft? With what or is it just PR speak again

Cross gen baby.Xbox 360 version?
This is the real take away here. Boo!Wait, this game is cross-gen?
Were the fans considered when making this decision? Are Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix aware of the franchise history with PlayStation and on PC?
Of course. We did not make this decision lightly. Our goal is to build the best game that we possibly can, and our relationship with Microsoft will help us realize our vision for the game.

As a note for all corporate sites and blogs, you should feel free to copy paste the entire article.
Corporate sites are not advertising driven, but are rather ads in and of themselves.
This is not untrue. They've done advertising deals for the last three games with them.Long history with Microsoft? With what or is it just PR speak again
are you concerned about a pc release?

Did Crystal Dynamics know about this deal?
Yes, Crystal Dynamics is excited to be partnering with Microsoft to make the best game possible. As Darrell mentioned in his message, we have a long history with Microsoft's MONEY and they have been a very strong supporter of the franchise. They will help us grow and nurture the Tomb Raider franchise more than ever before.

Why didnt Microsoft, Square Enix or Crystal Dynamics say upfront it was a timed exclusive? Why all the indirect language?
We certainly intend to cause confusion with the announcement. The Microsoft Gamescom stage was a great place to make the initial announcement, but not necessarily to go into details
This is not untrue. They've done advertising deals for the last three games with them.
Of course those were specifically advertising deals.
Man, it's almost as if they could have simply said "Coming FIRST to Xbox One and Xbox 360"
It's really not that hard.
A cross-gen game in 2016. That's almost as bad as the timed exclusivity.
Timed exclusive and crossgen(!)
Yeah, good luck with countering Uncharted 4 lol

I just get the gut feeling that they paid pretty close to what they pay Activision for timed exclusive DLC. I just don't feel that Microsoft went extra bonkers with the money for this one.I pretty curious how much MS spent on this. It just seems like a waste of money to me.
