A straight answer was given. He said it's a deal with a duration on it. He will absolutely not say when or if Square and CD will bring the game to other platforms outside of the ones agreed upon in their deal (Xbox One and Xbox 360), because it isn't his IP, he doesn't own it, and it isn't his place to speak on such matters. That is Square's business as the IP owner, and obviously Square doesn't wish to divulge that info right now or they would have. People expecting Phil to explain and walk people through every detail of this business deal, as if he's somehow required to assuage the concerns of PS4 gamers with details that will provide them with some certainty, are being unreasonable. That's not at all his job.
Part of what makes deals like this effective in the first place is the uncertainty of it all and the silence and evasiveness of the key players regarding whether or not it's coming to other platforms and when. And it's looking like it's the same exact structure as the Dead Rising 3 deal. Microsoft published it under the Microsoft Game Studios banner, but we all know the actual IP is owned by Capcom. It seems that this might very well be the case for Tomb Raider. And didn't some people say that they saw a site where it was listed that MS is publishing the game?
