Technically they don't buy exclusives but only offer guarranted royalties no matter how well the game sells.
If i understand correctly it works like this:
Company A develops game for 1M USD, then they release it on PSN Sony pays them 1M USD, then game sells let's say for 2M USD of which Sony takes 500k for royalties but developer get's only 500k too becouse they already received 1M before.
So it's a form of insurance that you will always break even releasing this game on PSN.
