Not necessary, I find that with Blizzards track record of making games that exceed their own boundaries on a much higher scale then what ND or Rockstar can do.
Here is a good example, If Rockstar or ND had to make a FPS, MMO, RTS or any other type of game would it be any good let alone best in the industry? I can’t see ND making a successful MMO or see Rockstar make an amazing RTS game. I can however see Blizzard making linear styled action games like Tomb Raider and Uncharted and actually be successful at doing that while giving those games a good run for their money, and while Rockstar are gods at the open world sandbox games, we are forgetting one thing, Blizzard already make an open world sandbox game, it’s called WoW. GTA vs WoW will make a great debate for another thread. And it’s funny how we look at Rockstar as the greatest open world devs, however like my article explains, Blizzard is again up there in the debate.
My point I’m trying to make is that Blizzard is a company that can almost do anything and be top at it. I can’t see those companies you mentioned doing the same. No company is perfect don’t get me wrong me. However Blizzard are proof you don’t need to specialize in something to achieve great things. Much like our beloved Rare back in there day.

WoW is not a open world sandbox as you put it and it's not comparable to GTA in any way. WoW is a MMO first and foremost while GTA is not a MMO but only a open world sandbox where the characters are criminals in modern times. You're trying to compare apples to rice.
I would like to see if Blizzard could pull off a single player game like GTA or TLOU with virtually no experience at making those kind of games.

WoW is an Openworld RPG, The MMO is like saying if its SP or MP. GTA is an openworld RPG aswell. I dont know what the difference with Sandbox games because XenoBlade X on WiiU is a Sandbox game and it plays very similar to WoW.
GTA Online is a MMO, even at 16 players max, so its a pretty fair comparison when you look into it alittle more.
M - Massive
M - Multiplayer
O - Online
