I think that Rockstar is the most over-rated developer by a wide margin ...
They have really only had one game series which has been a major success, and a large portion of that success is related to the massive ammount of free marketing that the 'outrage' over the game provided them; they have tried to reuse this strategy with other series (Bully, Manhunt) but it hasn't worked because these games have been fairly low quality. Being that (pretty much) every publisher is trying to emulate the sandbox quality of Grand Theft Auto that made it enjoyable, and the fact that they have had very limited success in anything else they have tried, I'm not too sure people will care who Rockstar is in 5 years.
