No, MS is doing 1st party games as well.

2nd party isn't a real thing, its technical BS. If they don't own the studio, its 3rd party developed regardless who owns the IP.

Yeah, I cringe everytime I read "2nd party developer".

The 1st party is the console seller / platform owner

The 2nd party is the console buyer / gamer. So the only 2nd party software is homebrew you program yourself.

Second party is a third party  company conracted (commissioned) to make games for a first party. If the first party owns the IP (not just the individual game) the title is first party. This is what Insomniac is to Sony and has been for so long (along with quanitc dream and Remedy for Microsoft with Quantum Break). This is also what Rare was for Nintendo.
