They're absolutely exclusives. They might be Microsoft exclusives rather than simply Xbox 360, but exclusives nonetheless. Either way a deal is made which restricts content to a certain company, and keeps it away from others.
However, I would disagree that Sony avoids a similar practice. They might be on record stating they don't "buy exclusivity" -- which might be semantically correct in reference to huge titles like Final Fantasy or GTA -- but they have locked down third-party games in publishing arrangements just like Microsoft.
