Because they do infact expend considerable time, effort and money on third parties. Its statements like that which make them hypocrites, especially when compared to Nintendo who have been accused of focusing too much on their first party titles to the expense of third parties. So yes, thats where Nintendo enters as a contrast to prove the hypocracy. Theres no point in splitting hairs because of a differing publishing policy. Even if their deals mean control over third party produced I.P. it still makes them deals with third parties even if the technicalities of the relationships make them 2nd party in publishing terms.
In addition to this once again, the most obvious reason why a bunch of new core games appeared at last E3 wasn't fantastic PSP software/hardware sales, it was probably publisher inducements. Something which they are going out of their way to appear to not be doing.

You're changing your argument. What does any of that have to do with your initial statement:
Its funny that he ignored Nintendo. Is he afraid that his first party cadre of developers won't measure up? Thats probably true, its says quite a lot that they never mention how awesome their first party developers are in comparison to Nintendo.

Because you quoted something else entirely. I was infact responding to the title and OP together and I assumed that the statement "emphasizes first party strength" was in the unquoted body. I guess I was mistaken.
