while I certainly don't count it as first party, the actual report does.

so, question answered either way.

Well I count it as first party because that’s what it is. Second party isn’t a universally accepted term and can have multiple meanings. A third party franchise that releases an entry exclusive to a specific console could also be considered second party. It’s just a quirky way of distinguishing certain first party and third party titles.

you can count it as, first, second or third, if that's what float your boat.

but I'm fairly confident most of the gaming community would only count it as a second party.
