Well, third parties tend to be more "businessy" than first-party studios. The first parties are good at providing direction for developers working under their umbrella, knowing more about who their audience is and having more desire to let subordinate developers thrive.

Third parties are more dominated by groupthink and short-term profiteering, while first parties think in terms of audience and reputation-building, and long-term profit-building.
