sorry but heavy rain was originally slated for both ps3 and 360,..  it is a third party exclusive.  it is no more sony's than the witness, exlusive because they found mutually beneficial terms (marketing) but sony has no real ownership in the games. 

demon's souls is a second party franchise hence why from software had to abandon the IP and create dark souls to go multiplat.  ratchet and clank/insomniac is also second party hence why insomniac is free to pursue multiplates and xbox exlusives on the side,.. just not with the R&C IP. 


If History of me arguing about Heavy Rain with people around VGC has taught me anything, is that a 360 version was remotely considered...back when the game was on paper only. When they start making the prototype for the engine and the game, it was already funded by Sony . So you could say Quantic Dream chose to be a Second Party developer; (seriously, Nintendo or PC wasn't even considered. That makes them even more Second Party). I think Beyond: Two Souls is also owned by Quantic Dreams.

Anyway, I just checked the internet and apparently, "Second-Party" term is just gamer slangs; because no thing as such exists. World is divided between First and Third party.
