Please forgive the intrusion into this conversation, but I had a quick point to support both your thoughts:
Holyschist said, "I always kind of figured that they tried to work together for years"
Starlady said, "And ditto the impression of their backstory being years long that I had before this. Not that the movie is inherently more authoritative than any other source in the comics transmedia mix, but it does have a certain…imperative to it."
In the very first X-Men movie, Wolvy is learning history from Charles. Charles says Magneto has a helmet that can block his use of Cerebro. Wolvy asks how it can do that and Charles says, "Because he helped me build it."
Whether or not this movie's interpretation of the Erik/Charles relationship is more or less canon than any other aspect of the transmedia mix, it does at least partially contradict the canon of the other X-Men movies. There are hints in the original X-Men and X2 that implies their friendship was longer than a few months.
