Naughty Dog are first party. They are owned by Sony.

Really? I thought they were second party...

What about Insomniac? Pretty sure they're second party.

EDIT: I see. Naughty Dog are first party, Insomniac and Sucker Punch are second party.

I think SOny should make Insomniac first party, just to be safe.

 

They practically are first party.

Really, Insomniac is in an excellent position.  They retain the freedom of a third party developer, while recieving the benefits of a first party developer (getting dev kits early, an almost unlimited budget, etc.).

Their relationship with Sony is extremely close.
