Need to add THQ, Activision, and Namco Bandai to the current list, with some argument for Vivendi, LucasArts, and SCi, and I'm real iffy on both Sega and Capcom going forward, particularly as compared to the first three I mentioned. Disney may also be one to watch. I personally would like to see Koei find someone to leverage its brands in North America the way Sony did for Square (their short-lived deal with EA needs a revival, or they could tempt Microsoft or Sony using Japanese exclusives as a bargaining chip), but I don't see it happening, making them just a very large niche player.
