Sony. Nothing Nintendo has made this generation has appealed to me, personally. The only game I've really spent a lot of time playing on my Wii-U has been Donkey Kong 64.

Maybe i got bloodborne wrong but you listed a few games that werent made from 1st party develper. Why didnt you do some research yourself before you talk?

because i didn't understand at first the criteria of this topic, "only games developed by 1st parties or co-developed" wtf is that, who asks that? what significance is in that question? who buys a console thinking "man, PS4 sure has all the great multiplats and a lot of exlcusive games, but Wii U has more games developed by Nintendo themselves so i'll get that", i subestimated the stupidity of this topic and jumped in without fully understanding it with my first comment, anyway, Bloodborne is a game co-developed by a 1st party Sony studio, and that is a big omission

It's something you just have to get used to, expect, and shrug off.  People make threads where the goal posts are angled in such a way that it will make their favorite brand look good.  They aren't asking a question so much as fishing for the answer they want.

In this case, we get a question that is rapidly losing relevance.  First party exclusives that are contracted to third party developers are rising by the year, as they offer less risk than adding more first party studios.  It's becoming an important part of the industry.

Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank are not made by first party developers but are first party IPs owned by Sony.

If you can include Gears of War Ultimate, which was initially made by Epic Games (a third party dev) then there's no reason that Bloodborne or Ratchet & Clank shouldn't be included as they will never appear on another platform and were owned from the start by the same company. I know that Alien Nation is also exclusive to Sony and comes from a first party.



Before this year I would have said Nintendo but with Uncharted 4 and Ratchet & Clank it's hard to disregard Sony's increasingly varied and appealing lineup.

I reject your definition of 1st party and apply it instead to "1st Party IPs".

With that in mind, Bloodborne. So PlayStation by default for me.

Whats the difference?

Sony obviously. It's always like that every gen.

Nothing, but people seem to be arguing about it, anyway.

First-party IPs can be commissioned to third-party developers but the games remain owned by the IP owner (i.e. Ratchet & Clank games or most Mario sports games). Most first-party games developed by first-party studios use outsourcing for many assets anyway so the difference between both isn't that relevant.



Nintendo for me!

I think they only produced it. If that counts then Nintendo should get Bayonetta 2 and Lego City Undercover as well.

i'm pretty sure producing a game falls under the co-developed category, i don't mind adding Bayo 2 and whatever shovelware you want to that list, the Nintendo list is nothing more than a big pile of shame, i wouldn't play any of those games, for me Nintendo doesn't even come close, just look at how Horizon looks and how Zelda looks, one looks like a modern game and the other looks like something that would've been made 10 years ago, typical Nintendo, always behind

Yiké, lol. Some one want to be ban it seem. Breath of the wild have a lot of things that Horizon don't have, not even close. Or you mean graphic? The only thing horizon have over Zelda
