Is Blizzard the Best in the industry?

I agree to a point, any company can make a great game if they spend the time and resources into it. Rockstar and Naughty Dog dont go past there strenghts. For example what was Rockstars last game that wasnt a openworld sandbox game? What was ND's last game that didnt go past the linear Action/Adventure?

Im talking on the fronts of creating master pieces that is not based in the same genre. Like my honorable mentions to Nintendo and Rare and lets add Sega back in there day to that list. 

Blizzard has 4,700 employees. Naughty Dog has 300. Still the latter has excelled in many genres including racing, platformers and third person shooters and has created 4 AAA IPs.

We need to stop comparing ND to Blizzard, its not a fair comparison. Blizzard is in another league compared to ND. Sure ND make a great game every once in a while, so does Retro, so does Rockstar so does ID, and ND are far from the best apart from Linear Action experiences. They can make good games when they go outside there comfort zone, Blizzard make the best games outside there comfort zone, major difference. Overwatch is another pure example of this. Like I stated before to someone else in this thread. It’s easy to make a good game in another genre, but it’s not easy being the best in another genre. Each genre Blizzard has entered, those games are up there with the best of them. ND own the linear movie genre respectfully but 1 genre compared to a company who owns 5? It’s not a comparison. Same goes for Rockstar and ID and many other great devs. Blizzard isn’t a 1 trick pony company.
