Some of you guys are getting 2nd party mixed up. 2nd party games are games that developed by a company independent from the console manufacturer, yet are published by the console manufacturer, and are thus exclusive.
For example, LoZ: Twilight Princess, SMG, etc. are 1st party, as they are developed and published by Nintendo. In comparison, the Kirby and Super Smash Bros. franchises are both second party, as they are developed by HAL Laboratory, an independent company from Nintendo, and are merely published by Nintendo.
Similarly, the Jak & Daxter and Uncharted franchises are 1st party games, as Naughty Dog is owned by Sony, thus the games are developed and published by Sony. The Ratchet & Clank and Resistance franchises, however, are 2nd party, as Insomniac is not owned by Sony, yet the games are still published by Sony.
