second party games are games that are made by devs not owned by Sony, but Sony owns the IP. like with Quantic Dream. if the publisher doesnt own the IP or the Dev its a third party exclusive.
First Party: Publisher owns the Dev and the IP (example, Naughty Dog and Uncharted)
Second Party: Publisher owns the IP, but Dev is independant. (example, insomniac and Ratchet and Clank, Quantic Dream and Detroit)
Third Party: Publisher doesnt own either the IP or the Dev. example (Capcom and Street Fighter. Epic Games and Gears of war before it was sold off).
