I must have imagined Sony buying the publishing rights and timed-exclusivity period for Ghostbusters.

Sony kinda owns that franchise.......

Though they did pay for timed exclusivity.

Which is part of the ridiculiousness of Sony.

The divisions seem like rival siblings who hate each other.  They never want to work together.

I mean... why is Ghostbusters even on 360 or Wii to begin with?

i doubt they payed for it, they got a deal since you know they own the who franchinse.

Right a random 'deal' that occurred after the game had been finished on other platforms.  If such a deal were to exist because of license rights doesn't it make sense for it to be there from the beginning? Why would the developers create the game in tandem on all platforms and then just let it sit there, without Sony paying for such a deal?
