You do realize that if Sony owns the game and/or the developer, that makes the company and/or it's games (or maybe just certain games like White Knight Cronicles) become first party.
I'll put it like this, Ninja Theory may want to make Heavenly Sword multiplatform, but since's it's Sony's game, not their's, that won't happen. Oh and Sucker Punch is also owned by Sony. Seriously dude, CHECK YOUR FACTS. just because that team has it's own name does not mean it's a different company. Is TEAM ICO also a third party? just because the team has it's own name?
and to ansewer MainEvent's question: the only Major third party games left are Final Fantasy Versus XIII(which I'd still buy even if it is announced to be Multi-plat) and LA Noire. you could also list MGS4 but I don't think Microsoft can "steal a show" with a game that's almost a year old.
EDiT: first off Sucker Punch is owned by Sony, secondly, IF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IS OWNED BY SONY THAN THAT GAME IS FIRST PARTY, NO MATTER WHO DEVELOPED IT. JUST LIKE IF YOU BUY THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE GAMES(LIKE ZIPPER INTERACTIVE FOR EXAMPLE) THAN THEM AND THEY GAMES BECOME FIRST PARTY ASWELL.
EVEN IF MICROSOFT DEVELOPES THE GAME, IF SONY OWNS THE GAME IT'S A FIRST PARTY GAME AND THEREFORE CAN'T GO MULTIPLATFORM NO MATTER WHAT.
THIS IS WHY GAMES LIKE JAK AND DAXTER CAN BE DEVELOPED BY PEOPLE OTHER THEN NAUGHTY DOG, BECAUSE IT'S SONY'S GAME AND AS LONG AS IT'S BEING MADE FOR SONY THEY CAN GET ANYONE THEY WANT TO DEVELOP IT. SAME GOES FOR GAMES LIKE WHITE KNIGHT CHRONICLES, FOLKLORE, HEAVENLY SWORD, GENJI...
