Heavy Rain and Resistence are first party you know....

No they're not, just like Ratchet & Clank and inFamous isn't 1st party either.

If those games arent first party then neither is Metroid Other M

I don't know the situation with Other M (with Team Ninja and all), but Insomniac, Sucker Punch and Quantic Dream are all second party developers for Sony.

It works like this, Insomniac, sucker punch, and QD made the games but Sony owns the IPs. Metroid is a nintendo owned property, but is being developed by a nonnintendo company, tecmo. So they are all first party owned games developed by studios that aren't owned by the respective first party. 

With Other M, I think the difference is that Nintendo are letting a 3rd party work on something that Nintendo themselves created, which makes it trickier to categorize. 

With Sony, all those properties were created by 2nd party developers, which makes them 2nd party games.
