They do with the original Mass Effect. It is ME2 and ME3 where the water gets murky. The speculation is that Microsoft traded publishing rights to ME1 on PC to EA in return for ME2 and ME3 exclusivity. It is likely that some money would have to have changed hands to make such a deal worthwhile to EA.
But at the end of the day, given the cohesive nature of the trilogy, if EA couldn't have the first title on PS3, it would be in their interest to look to Microsoft for a deal on the second and third titles.
