Well, except for wikipedia, there is not a single source explaining first party games.

Also, cnet has an article in which it considers Pokemon as first party game, so it pretty much doesn't matter who develops a game if the IP is owned by a company.

"Nintendo is the leader when it comes to first-party titles. Its franchises--Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, and others--have proven to be extremely profitable for the company. But when you look at first-party games on Microsoft's Xbox 360 or Sony's PlayStation 3, there's no comparison to Nintendo."

Oh, and its an old article btw :)

What is most important though is that the article mentions that Nintendo is the clear leader over both, Sony and Microsoft, when it comes to first party games. This clearly settles the original question posed in this thread too then.

Haha :) I knew someone would do something like this. However its a May 2009 article and since then a lot of things have changed both for nintendo and Sony.
