Major Correction: Wild sheep studio is independent studio. Sony is funding Wild and they own IP.

Fact: Owner of wild sheep studio was ex-ubisoft employee and is making anoither game for Ubisoft simultaniously.

I remember this now, and thanks for correcting me.

Still, even though it's not made by Ubisoft (apart from correlation being that Ancel was a head designer at Ubisoft), and even if the game is funded by Sony, it still doesn't make them second party. That would be like saying that Platinum is second party to Nintendo (because of Bayo funding) or that Capcom is second party to Sony (because of SFV funding).

Technically there is no such thing as "second party". However, 2nd party is used when the IP (eg Wild or Ratchet&Clank) is owned by the plattform manufacturer (Sony) but developed by a studio that is not a subsidiary of the plattform manufacturer. SFV is not Sonys IP, neither is Bayonetta owned by Nintendo.
