Sony say a lot of things when the world is watching 
I saw a link that showed all of nintendo studios once they have about 18-22 if I remember. They have a team dedicated to each IP.
I'll see if i can come up with it.

I don't think Nintendo has any actual financial stake in Camelot, which is what I'd say is the requirement to be "second party". I'm doubtful on a couple of others there as well, like Skip, but I can't be arsed to research all of this. :)
Edit: Game Freak and HAL definitely do belong on the list, and from what I've read, so does AlphaDream.
Wikipedia does not mention the new Halo Studio for MS either. Wignut is different

IGN lists Camelot as a partner to Nintendo. This may mean funding or something else entirely. But they do only make console games for Nintendo's platforms. Therefore it seems like they are a second party studio.
Skip LTD is a second party studio that is funded by Nintendo.
Genuis is short for Genius Sonority, they made the Pokemon Stadium games for the Gamecube and the Wii.
The only studio that I know of that is not listed is NEAD Tokoyo. They developed Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and Mario Galaxy.
Game Designer's Studio was a subsidiary of Square and funded by Nintendo but was absorbed into Square when they merged with Enix. They developed Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles for the Gamecube.
If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
Sony has the most [19], followed by Nintendo, then I think MS has like only 2 or 3 :S
4 ≈ One
Right now, Sony has the most employees working on gaming (a consequence of years of console market domination). More than 5,000 last I checked, while Nintendo has less than 4,000.
I'd be surprised if Nintendo didn't take that throne soon though (both through expansion and Sony's possible downsizing/ending some studios).
