I remember a Japanese developer talking about the money MS was shopping around for Japanese developers to make games for the 360 or even make them exclusive for a time period. Basically the guy stated that they were fine in taking MS money because they were only locked in making the game exclusive for a year and the money MS fronted allowed them to produce their PS3 version of the game including extra content.
The way I look at it, if the time period is short, then the money the developers got basically paid for development of the game which eliminated the risk that goes with development and allows the developer to still bring the game to other platforms or improve it when the exclusive period ends.
