| TheSource said: Games like Gears of War, Fire Emblem, Uncharted are 'second party' that is to say, made by companies owned by the hardware manufacturer, but released under the brand name of the manufacturer...so some of the money is split but I don't think they pay liscencing fees.

Gears is a second party title but third party owned (Epic owns gears IP not MS and Epic isnt owned by MS), much like mass effect as both are contracted deals.
Uncharted is 1st party Nautydog is owned by Sony and the IP is owned by sony, you were prolly thinking of insomniac as 2nd party.
