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. |
Capcom made third party for sega, they were never second party to Nintendo. I read that Nintendo had exclusive chips integrated into the system to keep devs with them despite Segas growing marketshare. They were slowly losing power to Sega because of games and brand image before Sony even arrived to deliver the final blow. Capcom made serveral games that were multiplat with the Gamecube that still came out on the PS2. Look them up. The PS2 was that dominant.
