I'll buy the concept of 2nd party studios. But 2nd party games aren't a real concept as far as I'm concerned. You're either a first party game, or a third party one. 

Well the only concept of 2nd party game would be a game made by a second party studio, but sure it would look akin to a first party game.

I still consider games from independent studios published by the platform holder to be first party. The platform holder is still putting their own money and dev talent on these games, so they count IMO.
