If this is true then good. Not so much the Developers taking payoffs from microsoft part but Sony's Policy for a richer game. Especially if a franchise use to be Sony Playstation exclusive. Why should sony hand any developer money for a game that's not exclusive to them? Sony has it's own exclusives and troubles.
The game is still just a port so it's not even made specifically for the ps3?! I don't think anyone's making them bring their games to ps3 and I don't see how this is blackmail. I'm surprised sony hasn't taken it a step further and make dev's who take money to delay a game on ps3 for timed exclusivity for another platform to publicly state so before that game is released on that other platform. It seems to me like anything named Timed Exclusive for PS3 is revealed to be so way before the game is even released. As a Playstation Fan i'd applaud sony for this.
If anyone gets mad who bought a game a whole YEAR earlier on another platform then I say, tough.
