As a first-party platform, our job was almost not to be the biggest game publisher in the world. In fact, it was against our interest to start muscling our partners out of the pie. We weren’t there to steal; I wasn’t making games so I could steal market share from EA or steal market share from Activision. My job was to make games that made the pie bigger, and my opportunity was in growing it out.
He isn’t talking about being a publisher, its about being the biggest publisher.

Pretty much every platformer is both, except linux maybe.

Valve doesn’t really publish much does it? Other than a few obvious moneymakers.
