Well, thats if you believe Skaterboy's blog.

I sorta pressured him to reveal the lost PS3 exclusive thats gone 360 exclusive. And here's what he got....

...So according to him the game was one or perhaps the main project that NC soft has been working on. Due to weak support from Sony side and completely neglecting to help them in the developement, NC Soft went to Microsoft's office to offer a deal on it since it seemed like a lost cause.

...apparently Microsoft was quite impressed by what they showed, that they decided to bail them out of their trouble and fund the project + provide necessary support.

My thoughts?

Sony must be fucking stupid to ignore an exclusive contract with NC Soft. Total lack of professionalism if true.

No-no. They made an exclusive deal with Sony to make a certain amount of games for the PS3.

No source link + he said she said hear say crap + the dude alias being skaterboy = the biggest bullshit if I've ever seen one.

Don't know how long it must of taken him to poop this one out, but I assume a good 12 hours at least sitting over the toilet seat.

If NC's lawyers can prove that Sony isn't holding its part of the bargain then NC has the rights to cancel the project. if NC's lawyers are REALLY good they could even sue Sony for breach of contract.

Oh course this is all a rumour, but don't think that contracts/deals are iron clad. Companies always protect themselves for these kind of situations.
