Microsoft charge ~ $10 per copy manufactued in royalties to every publisher so they probably broke even off the deal - if they didn't change their royalties rate for Rockstar. Chances are a good portion of this $75 million wasn't an actual exchange of money but just slashed royalties anyway...
I do think there is some truth but no one can be really sure - L.A.Noire gets caught up in this somewhere and when this story leaked 5 years ago or so Rockstar owed Sony 3 exclusive games. Maybe Agent will be a trilogy though? lol.
It's very interesting imo as I think the future of 'exclusivity' is now in these sorts of deals and suchlike and it sounds like Sony is going to be entering the arena of money hatting from what they've said and where rumours are pointing. Might find out a bit more at E3.
