Tough call. I think NA comes out first with EU very close behind. Japan is so far behind that it is like watching a Samoan sprinter in olympics.
Obviously America. America is superior in almost everything, including the craftmanship of video games.
I do like the game design mentality of Eastern Europe though, it's just that they are such a small part of the world and they entered the gaming business so recently that they naturally can't compete with the quantity of games being made elsewhere.
Japan still makes a few gems (ironically WRPGs) but they are few and far between.
The UK went down the toilet ages ago. I love the British as a nation and culture but I really don't like the games produced in the UK anymore.
While you listed a bunch of irrelevant Sony exclusives (Jak, Spyro, Infamous, Jak, Ratchet) you forgot some huge game series that are from America:
Fallout, Diablo, Dragon Age, Starcraft, Warcraft, Doom, Left 4 Dead, Age of Empires, Saints Row, Splinter Cell, Far Cry and Borderlands.
Japan. Europe and the U.S. are tied for second.

Wow, what a hard question. I'd rate them all about equally.
European games normally play to my sensibilities better. Things like LittleBigPlanet & Fable this generation, things like Theme Hospital & MediEvil in generations gone past. Just have a distinctly British feel to them and I really love that.
We're also king of racing games, in my opinion. WipEout, Burnout, Motorstorm, Blur, PGR to name but a few.
I like Japan, mainly for the JRPG's - PS1 era Final Fantasy games, Wild ARMs, Valkyria Chronicles. Kingdom Hearts etc. There haven't been a great deal of these that I've enjoyed this gen though, compared to previous ones (perhaps that's because I missed out on handheld gaming).
Japan often get platformers right too - Ape Escape, 3D Mario, some Sonic games - but again, it's been a fairly quiet one for that this generation. Metal Gear Solid is the anomaly of a Japanese shooter that I really enjoy.
USA gets a lot right. The 3D era platformers - Spyro, Crash, Jak, Ratchet, Sly are some of my favourite games of all time.
There's always gems that appear in other genres too - Infamous, Uncharted, Portal, The Sims etc. all get so much right. But there's many big name IP's from the USA that I find less enjoyable.
I would have trouble picking just one region. I voted Europe because traditionally that's always been my favourite region for games, but it's been a quiet one this gen. Japan has been quiet for me too, although like I say - that may be because I missed out on handhelds, which I'll be correcting soon when I play PSP games on my Vita. USA is hit and miss - some of my favourite games ever, but a lot of over-rated stuff.

You're being serious? America is not superior in almost everything.
On topic, you listed Kingdom Hearts twice.
Japan by far ,this gen everyone did notice that J-Rpgs are in a terrible decline. But hey Square Enix is opening a lot of new Studios getting ready for the next gen (:
