3DS first-to-third party ratio [VGC poll]

[TomaTito]

Past mid-week bump!

Thanks for the votes so far, I think we are on the way to surpass last year's votes which totalled to 21 post votes and 64 poll votes.

I'll be counting up the votes this Sunday and make the console comparison @ Gaming Discussion

Im not really sure what counts as third party games. 
Like is Fantasy Life and Bravely Default count as 1st or 3rd party?

I counted Bravely Default as first-party since Nintendo is the publisher outside of Japan (and it's listed as "licensed to be sold as a Nintendo product" in Nintendo's financial reports). So, things like Fantasy Life, Inazuma Eleven, Lego City and Professor Layton would also all count as first-party.

There's a bit of liberty in defyning some games are first or third party since we are omitting second parties. The OP states "Note that first and third party are categorized by publisher, when in doubt check the worldwide publisher or who funded the game." I'd define first party when the game is funded by Nintendo or if it is globally distributed by Nintendo.
