Second-party developer

In the video game industry, a second-party developer is a developer who, while being a separate entity from any console manufacturer, is tied to a specific one usually through contract or partial ownership and makes games specifically for that console manufacturer.

The defining characteristic is that a second-party developer is a company completely separate from the manufacturer, while first-party developers are considered to be a "division" of the console maker itself.

A second-party developer should not be confused with an internal first-party studio. For example, Intelligent Systems, developers of the original Metroid games, is an internal Nintendo studio and therefore not second-party. Camelot Software Planning, developer of the Golden Sun, Mario Golf and Mario Tennis games, is an example of a second-party developer.

The term "second-party" however, is not an official business term like "first-party" and "third-party", but is used simply to distinguish between third-party developers who develop games for various video game consoles, and developers who while still a third-party, provide software only for a single video-game console.

现在XO、PS3、WII分别有什么第二方厂家？有没有不是某主机的第二方的，但是也专一为该主机出游戏的？

目前来说，第二方厂家概念没什么意义了。

战神从游戏角度定义第二方，更有实际意义。

证据

谢谢

可能是说人数。印象中索尼第一方游戏开发人员数量最多，高于任天堂和微软。

那现在还有没有真正的第二方啊？

如果说厂商，第二方这个概念没什么实际意义了。

如果说游戏，那战神定义的第二方游戏是很重要的。
