Your rebuttal doesn't add much considering that I already mentioned a similar example with Level 5's Professor Layton series. Demon's Souls is a first party game in Japan and a third party game in the rest of the world. Sounds odd, but that's how it is.

This thread is about first party games, not first party studios.

I saw your example, and I merely place mine at the extreme end, it simply doesn't make sense to say that any game published by Sony is automatically a Sony first party game in the conext of the OP. Otherwise games like ghostbuster would be first party in Europe when it even exist as a mutliplat!

But that's the case, as odd as it may sound. Ghostbusters (PS3) is a Sony game in Europe, not an Atari one. Just like Call of Duty is a Square-Enix game in Japan, not an Activision one.

Ok, i think this is simply a disagreement on definition. You're more than likely right on a technical level but when speaking to most gamer, the term first-party generally referes IPs owned by the console manufactorer or internally developed games, and I read the op as the later.
