Uh yes, that is exatly what it means if the pulisher is Microsoft on Xbox, Sony on Playstation and Nintendo on their systems.
| S.T.A.G.E. said: It's only first party if the intellectual property is owned by the publisher and is made by its in house company. |
So you are saying that despite the fact it was made by Sony Online Entertainment and was published by Sony Computer entertainment, DC Universe online is not a Sony first party game because Warner Bros. own DC comics? You should probably tell Jack Tretton, because he announced it as one. Coo-coo.

Says the guy trying to convince us that Epic only have a 2 no 3 no 4 game deal wit M$ and it's OVA!
| S.T.A.G.E. said: I think most of the people on this site are smarter than that and have learn the difference between a first, second and third party in their economics classes and the role of publishers. |
Well let's ask Remedy who own the Alan Wake IP
"Second-party is not a commonly used term, at least we don't really use it typically at Remedy. I think we talk about Alan Wake (Xbox) being a first party title. Alan Wake PC could be called indie release as Remedy is acting as the publisher on Steam.
But with the changing gaming landscape I think this terminology is getting a bit outdated... And really doesn't make much difference."
