naughty dog is first party while insomniac is not (and to just to add, sucker punch is second party). common misconception is that all three of those guys are in the same financial and business situation.
jason rubin tried raising money for an ambitious project but was unable to and so he sold the company to sony last generation.
you will hear insomniac boast about their seond party status. they like having control over their development. they couldnt win those small/medium business awards if they were owned by a big company like sony. Insomniac recently had a huge stage of growth, something very uncommon for first party developers.
no one knows much about sucker punch as they have been silent long before e3 and ever since e3 (please another sly game with infamous).
