What is the difference between a 1st party developer and a 2nd party developer. 'Cause I don't know.
nah
An example of 1st party is Retro Studios. They are a seperate company, but owned 100% by Nintendo, and obviously their games are Nintendo exclusive.
An example of 2nd party was Rare this time last year. A seperate company not owned 100%, I beleive Nintendo owned about 59% of them, and therefore their games were Nintendo exclusive.
And 3rd party would be EA, Sega, Capcom etc. Not owned at all by any of the hardware companies (Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft).

1st Party = Company itself, ie. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft
2nd Party = People who work for the companies such as the 3 above ie. ermm ermm (don't know any)
3rd Party = Outside developers, ie. EA games, Ubisoft, Capcom upon the hundreds of others.

1st party - the company which owns the console makes it, or part of the company bought for it. (Ie. Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony)
Second Party - A company which makes games, exclusively for one console, because they have a large share in them (Eg, RARE)
Third Party - SOmeone nopt owned by any company, so, althought they can make sets of games exclusive for one console, they are not in any way owned by them. (Eg, Activision, Sega, Capcom, Konami)

I don't think either exist as far as i know...
There's 'In-House' and '3rd Party'
In-House - someone like Sega or Nintendo - A publisher who makes its own games
3rd Party - can't think of any examples - someone who makes games for other publishers
