ofcourse i think i am missing games for all consoles.

but looking at that list. i guess PS2 has the most decent games out of all


i wonder why only Nintendo are the only known for their first party games. clearly they are not..
 
you forgot metroid prime 1 and 2 from retro and paper mario from intelligent systems.

overall i prefer nintendo's first party games to sony and ms, although sony has gran turismo..., it's difficult, but i'm still going with nintendo.
 
My answer to the question was going to be Metroid Prime, but it's not even in your list :lol

For consistency, I'd say Microsoft have the best 1st/2nd party history, closely followed by Sony and then Nintendo, although I've been happy with the 1st party stuff from all of them

err, i knew i was missing good nintendo game lol :lol
 
PGR2
God of War
Metroid Prime

Hell I can't decide which I like more. I'll just say that I hope we get more quality games like these next generation.
 
Your missing a few good nintendo games, like SSBM, Waverace, Pokemon colosseum and XD ( i havent played either, but ive heard they are pretty good :P ), Mario Kart DD, Eternal Darkness (im pretty sure SK used to be second party :P ) ...thats all i can think of :P


I would go with nintendo, but i love nintendo games.
 
As far as second party goes, Bungie made Microsoft more money than any other second party developer this generation with Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2. I am pretty sure of this.

Bunjie's a first party developer, duder.
 
Hudson Soft made the Mario Party's.
Namco made StarFox Assult.

(err, both not Nintendo 1st/2nd Party Dev's.)

I'd take Microsofts lineup.
 
Why count games that aren't out yet for GC or PS2? If you're going to do that throw in PGR3, PDZ, and Kameo for MS. You missed Crimson Skies and Phantom Dust, too.

Is Rallisport MS too?
 
Sony and Nintendo are pretty close, but when you call it "Mario Paper", count Star Fox Assult as a 1st/2nd party game (it's a Nintendo game, but made by a 3rd party -- same with GX), and leave out stuff like SSBM (the #1 GC game this gen), you probably shouldn't be making a post like this.

Are Insominac and Naughty Dog 2nd parties for Sony? I was never too sure about that.

Hey idiot, Star Fox Assault is a 2nd party game. Made by an external developer (Namco), published by the console manufacturer (Nintendo). Same with GX, except made by AV, and ED, which was made by SK, and Star Fox Adventures, which was made by Rare.

Well PGR3, PDZ and Kameo are next gen now aren't they so that doesn't make sense does it?

I also thought both star fox games were received pretty coldly too? And Azurik? Fusion Frenzy (oh come on now you can't be serious!)?

I don't know about Naughty Dog, but Insomniac is a completely independent developer (though Sony does publish their games).

EDIT: I was curious so I looked up Naughty Dog. It turns out that as of late-2003, Naughty Dog became "a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment."
