Sony doesn't have to pay for Japanese exclusives but sometimes they publish them (like they do for co-development initiatives from level 5 or From Software). They are marketed to Japan and Playstation is the platform of choice for a lot of those RPG's. Microsoft is an outside so they have to pay and even then games like Lost Odyssey didnt even hit a million even though they were amazing. If Sakaguchi and Sony ever were to bury the hatchet, Square Enix would rule the day they lost the father of Final Fantasy.

Not the point in question, I'm not even defending Microsoft. 

Sony doesn't even have to try I know all that, but I read "Microsoft won't invest, contrary to Sony" 

free exclusives isn't a investment, not here in Portugal nor all the way in Japan.

pretty sure you read how I feel about Spencer.

MS did invest in JRPGs last gen...initially, that stopped after Lost Odyssey came out, probably because the investment wasnt really paying off, they gave it the old college try and i respect that. Sony doesnt really need to try hard, they got Japan on lock at least against Xbox, they could just sit back and get the games and they will sell exclusive or not. FF13 proved that as it beat the 360 version in EVERY terriority despite it having bundles and exclusive advertising in the US
