Nintendo 1st party actually reminds me of Microsoft 1st party or vise versa

It could be either one, depending on what he intended.  He never specified that he meant first party studios and his example indicated published.  If he didn't then he made a mistake but I'm not going to assume that.  "First party games" are those where the platform holder also has publishing rights.

As for Nioh, it would be a first party game in regions where Sony has publishing rights, a third party game where they do not.  It's not something I care enough to argue over, though.  If someone want to include it, fine, if they don't, that's also fine.

But that doesn't make any sense. If we were to consider games as being first party because they are published by the console maker, then what do make of Minecraft, which is published by Sony on their platforms? 

What about it?  I'm not seeing your problem.  Not unless you're looking at an industry term from a completely consumer perspective.
