Well, I do know that Nintendo didn't pay Capcom to put RE on their console...infact, I don't know any developer Nintendo flat-out PAID to keep exclusive....Factor 5, Hal Labs, Silicon Knights, and Retro Studios have been 2nd party developers inside NCL for years, and most of the exclusive titles stem from them, NCL themselves, or are third-party titles that just didn't get ported to other systems (think Sega).
As for PS2, there are a couple, but even then, the Squaresoft/Enix payoff didn't work, as they are developing titles for GCN in 2003...MS by far though, has outright paid money for every exclusive they have now minus in-house ones. Hell, even Halo was bought last-minute right before it's completion on the Macintosh in late 2000.
