First party and second party devs count right? We are talking about what sony has under thier belt. Sony does not own spyro and crash but insomniac and naughty dog do. Sony ws not blindly throwing money at these companies. What I think you might do is look up a list of sony's first party and second party devs and see what they have made in the past. Even if each developer "own's" thier own franchise chances are it would be brought to the PS line. So it benefits sony to put money forth to make these games made and to advertise them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best_selling_computer_and_video_games#PlayStation_2 Seriously though, look at this list and single out sony's first and second party devs. Compare the resulting numbers to the xbox or the GC. I assure you Sony is doing well in the gaming department.
