Rare used to be a second party studio to Nintendo. Nintendo only owned 49% of the shares. Insomniac isn't a second party studio as they have started developing games for other consoles. AlphaDream and HAL Laboratory are two second party studios.


@bolded: What the heck... xD

A second party isn't bound to a first party.
It can develop titles for every consoles if it wants. As long as it develops titles for IPs owned by another party, then it's a second party. 

Yes, they are. But bonds don't always last, as you can see with Insomniac. According to your logic Atlus and Bandai Namco are second party developers to Nintendo... I can assure you they are not.
