nintendo doesn't buy exclusives, but they can go easy on the royalties. royalties are always negotiable.

cutting $10 royalties in half essentially means a $5 million subsidy if the game sells a million copies.

They may not buy an exclusive directly but they certainly subsidize development or publish games for 3rd party developers on occasion.  FFCC:CB is published completely by Nintendo.  So yeah, they offer development incentives just like anyone else.  They just don't do it as often.
