I have seen a few people bringing Retro Studios into the discussion, which was my first thought upon seeing this thread, too. Relating to the OP, I think that Rare could have become analogous to ND and Bungie, but some significant strategic changes would have to have been made at the company to achieve that, rather than Rare simply destined for that role. However, with that ship having now sailed, I also reckon that Retro could fill that role. Too bad it's not really being utilised to that potential though.
