It does seem like a response to you, but I thought he actually e-mailed you back before, so it would seem strange for it to be a real "response". I wouldn't be surprised if you inspired the post on GAF though as he was thinking about it and he doesn't really think of it as a response.
@his post
I disagree with him saying Mario & Sonic is a 1st party game just because it has the word "Mario" in the title. Now, I don't have any evidence for this either way, but my guess is that Sega came up with the idea rather than Nintendo. They developed it, and they published it everywhere but Japan due to licensing agreements just to use Mario. (gotta give something up if you want to use Mario)
Anyways, I bet 100% that if Mario & Sonic flopped it would be considered 3rd party because it sold poorly. Very few people thought it would be lucky to break 1m let alone the 4m that Sega was predicting.
