Final Fantasy on PS1, Resident Evil on Gamecube, Monster Hunter on 3DS, that kind of thing. When a game / franchise that is either exclusive or has a huge following on one system ends up being exclusive on a competing system.

ok. I don't consider that stealing. I'd much prefer them all to be multiplatform though. Square moved to Playstation for the CD format, Capcom signed a contract with Nintendo for timed exclusives and 2nd party games. I don't have a big problem with that, but like I said I'd prefer it all to be multiplatform.

Capcom wasn't 2nd party to Nintendo.

2nd party is just a made up term to describe the exclusivity contract between a platform hold and a 3rd party developer. Capcom entered into contract with Nintendo to make several exclusive games for the Gamecube. Those are commonly refered to as 2nd party games.
