Yes, the first Mass Effect was funded by Microsoft for its creation. The own everything but the games IP which belongs to Bioware pertaining to the first game. Ninja Gaiden 2 was a totally different story. Ninja Gaiden 2 was funded by Tecmo, it's creators. Microsoft paid Tecmo for timed-exclusivity of Ninja Gaiden 2 so Sony couldn't get their hands on it in time to make a profit. Sony knew they own the Japanese market when it comes to HD sales so Tecmo basically used all of the money Microsoft gave them to make a superior Ninja Gaiden for Sony as to not displease the Japanese audience. Bioshock...well that was just a sad story, but still a good port.
