Yawn...typical, mindless SE hate. I don't see how they are the worst publishers of this gen. They published a great amount of games this gen, and a lot of them were good: Dissidia, Batman, The World Ends With You, Just Cause 2, Tactics Ogre remake, NieR, FFIV, FFXIII, DQ series, Chrono Trigger, Valkyrie Proflie, etc. They even published Persona 4 in the PAL regions. In addition, SE has put up a great selection of PSone Classics on the PSN store, mostly the ones we wanted. Also, the localization/translation for their games has been fairly strong like NieR for example.
Even as developers, they're far from the worst. Have you guys played Fist of the North Star and all thoses crappy Dynasty Warrior games?
+1 for Jumpin and Darth for being the voice of reason.
My favorite publisher this gen has to be Atlus USA, mainly because they give us a free soundtrack CD or artbook, and the special editions for a few of their games were cool: Catherine and Demon's Souls. Sony has been pretty good too.
Worst is probably Sega of America. They didn't localize Kenzan, they butchered Yakuza 3 with the content cuts, they failed to capitalize on Resonance of Fate, ruined Valkyria Chronicles, Sonic, etc. Nintendo of America is also poo for not localizing Fatal Frame 4, Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower. Oh, but they're not hesitant on bringing Mario Party 42 and all those Mario mini-games. They need to stop being lazy.
