Using Wikipedia numbers (revenue 2006, 2007 or 2008):

1. Nintendo
2. Activision/Blizzard + Activision combined rufly $5 billion? (they seem to be split in 2 publishers/divisions)
3. EA - $4.665 billion
4. Konami - rufly $3 billion
5. SEGA - rufly $2-3 billion (another publisher split in 2 divisions)
6. Square Enix - rufly $2 billion
7. Ubisoft - rufly $1.5 billion
8. Capcom - rufly $1 billion
9. THQ - $1 billion
10. Take-Two - $1 billion

I don't know where to put Sony and MS in this though.

Yeah in term of revenue, profit, game published, and top selling games nintendo been holding that record for years even longer than 2006.  as far as staff is concern i dont know.  the majority of nintendo staff are devoted to making games vs other studio which not all their staff is for gaming like branching out into other things.
