can somebody explain to me the difference between first party and second party?

 

First Party - Completely owned by the platform holder 

Second Party - Usually a third party studio who has been contracted by the platform holder to work on a license owned by the platform holder 

Third Party - A game developed by an outside company based on their own original intellectual property 

 


so second party developers can stop making exclusives for a platform, but they dont own the IP. 


Insomniac is a 2nd party studio for example

 

..well Insomniac used to be

Anyways, this gen will be really interesting to watch! As far as I'm concerned: Nintendo's 1st party games >>>Sony>>>>>MS

But maybe that'll change now??


you havent played sony first party to judge

Oh, but I have :D some... many years ago ^^ But just by looking at sales tells me this, and the scores and stuff like that. And besides, I've never found GoW to be something that would entice me, and I haven't played a GT since the first installment of the series ^^ But I'm not much for racers... Only game that looks good to me is UC... And only game MS has that's any good is/was Fable. But c'mon, we all know Nintendo pwns everyone else when it comes to 1st party. That's just the way it is.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

*BAM!* So that means MS should pump out more franchises than Sony on a regular basis

so they have no excuse to not deliver more exclusives than Sony on the regular now

this will be the official Sony franchises vs MS franchises generation

who will have the more quality franchises as a whole?

you have enlightened me with this info. You have also raised the expectations so if MS DOES NOT deliever more franchises than Sony then....

i'll save that for later

this is going to be good

Dude,  their are a lot of new IP's from MS.  Like today Skulls of Shogun..

The sad thing is that people always downlplay Xbla games but then with all love nominate an PSN games as GOTY...

Anxiously awaiting Avatar Kinect 2. Bottom of the show in real HD. Good to see they are investing in some studios and not just buying more and more timed exclusivity. Sony did that on PS2 (GTA games) and than 360 did that this gen with the same. Sure helps but it is a silly long term strategy. Again Avatar Kinect 2. Get hype.

I can't wait to see what first party games MS releases with the upcoming Xbox.

yea maybe if the IDIOTS(Sony) actually stayed fairly consistent with ALL their franchises, and somehow still had Spyro and Crash under their belt then maybe they could be right up their with Nintendo

 

.. NOT HIGHER but up there near them

haha lets not start somethere here shall we my point that i was trying to say that this gen sony first party games have changed a lot, the way they make them and the games they made were much different that previous gens and you might want to give them a try

Who would i believe, the media that says Sony has the most 1st party studios or Jaywood's messy/confusing list ?

is this factoring in the 2 team studios like MM, ND, and SSM that can work on 2 games at once?

Also how long has this been true because if it's been awhile then I guess it's just quality over quantity.  I can name way more awesome Playstation 3 games than 360 games imo.  I can also name more good 360 games than Wii games but I still prefer Wii because I just like platformers and adventure games more than shooters.  The few that I do like are games like Half-Life and Resistance 3 with unique features and skip on the cinematic crap.
