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.

What you're saying is right though. Even though Sony published Ghostbusters in EMEAA, it's not their IP. Square may publish CoD in Japan, but it's not their IP. How these companies split the money made is not up to us to decide, but where to place an IP is easy, because if it is owned by a company that manufacturs consoles, the IP is 1st Party.

Demon's Souls was published by Atlus outside of Japan, yes, but it's SCE's IP. If you were to include it with one of your 3 games to tout as a Sony IP, you'd be fine, unlike HEAVY RAIN, which was published by Sony everywhere, but isn't their IP.

Is the fact that the "sequel" is called Dark Souls why it's able to be multiplatform?
