A publisher's standing tends to be in capital (cash) not employees. Developers do all of the hard work and publishers take the financial risk of getting copies made, distributed and marketed. Few publishers have involvement in development, unless they are a combined developer/publisher like practically all the big ones are.
So you really want the biggest console game company (in terms of revenue from console businesses and employees in developing or publishing). Nintendo, Sony, EA, Activision and Capcom would probably be the top five.
