maybe japanese developers just want to make games for the western market, where the Xbox360 is the undisputed leader with 7 million consols ahead of the PS3? (of course, except Wii and handhelds :D)
It is not that simple that whenever a game gets its release on the Xbox360, MS paid them. It is time for the PS3-fans to recognize, that the 360 is the current leader in USA and Europe. It sells more software than the PS3, even calculated with the same Userbase, 360 version of games mostly sell better. (I know GTA IV sold better on the PS3, related to its userbase, same for DMC, but still most of the games sell better on the Xbox)
Games like Lost Odyssey showed that this might work out.
I am not saying MS did not pay them at all, but please remember, there are some good reasons to develop for the Xbox360.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
