I've seen peole claim that games like The Wonderful 101, The Order:1886, and Heavy Rain are 1st party new IPs despite all of those games being developed by 3rd party studios. 

Ahhh touche. I didn't even think about that.  Although I have seen people here say that The Order is 2nd party since Ready At Dawn isn't a Sony studio. Just that the IP belongs to Sony. That's why I've been asking these questions to clear things up. A lot of you have vast knowledge on these things already.

Yes, Sony has been using Ready at Dawn to create the PSP versions of their games. They finally got their shot to make a AAA IP. Sony uses initiation processes with companies they work closely with. If they make a hit Sony lets them join the family. Thats never good  for their competition. Sony has a great way of bringing up studios to work in their personal style and them bringing them in. Sony's top three in house studios alone have created (or been apart of) more hits than Microsoft could ever hope to create themselves.
